Due to high winds in California this week, the themed scrim was temporarily rolled up on the Main Street, U.S.A. train station at Disneyland, revealing construction work.
Main Street Tran Station Construction
Scaffolding and scrim went up around the building in September when the Disneyland Railroad closed for refurbishment. The Disneyland Railroad reopened in October but work continues on the Main Street station.
There was still red safety netting over the scaffolding when we visited but the netting is see-through enough for us to highlight areas of interest. In general, the train station doesn’t look too different from it did before. This is expected to be a standard refurbishment.
On the left side (when entering the park), some clear plastic tarps were taped on the brick facade. The tarps could be to protect the brick from paint on other parts of the wall. The darker tarp around the scaffolding indicates this spot is where crews have been working recently.
On the roof above this section, there are two white spots on either side of a window. It looks like the shingles here have been painted or replaced. The white is just primer and they will be repainted brown to blend in with the rest of the roof.
The American flag remains atop the tower on the right. Plastic tarps are visible covering the window below the clock. The sign on the front of the station still reads: “Population 650,000,000, Disneyland, Elevation 138 Feet.”
No red netting blocked the view around the rest of the train station. On this side of the tower, we could see more tarps on the gable sticking out of the roof.
There are construction walls around the train station, but a tunnel is open through the walls so it can still operate (the New Orleans Square station is closed, however).
Some more tarps were visible behind the scaffolding on the back. The clocks on either side of the tower are still in place with shiny gold features around them. It’s possible these elements were replaced or cleaned.
