A Trip Back In Time at Disney California Adventure Park

October 17, 2014

Paul Hiffmeyer, Chief Photographer for Public Relations, Disneyland Resort posted this picture and question at the end for the Disney Trivia Buffs, feel free to answer in the comments here, on Facebook and Twitter if you know the answer or if you think you know.

Climb aboard one of the two Red Car Trolleys near the main entrance of Disney California Adventure park to enjoy a leisurely ride that takes you as far as the Twilight Zone Tower of Terror. The Red Car Trolley also stops at Carthay Circle and on Hollywood Boulevard near the Disney Animation building.

The Red Car Trolley is powered by electricity and is based on the Pacific Electric Red Cars, which transported passengers around Los Angeles in the first part of the 20th century. While you are inside, take time to admire the retro-styled advertisements depicting Buena Vista Street merchandise and food locations.

Does anyone know what the numbers “717” on the front of the trolley pictured below honor?
