Disney train to skip Redwood City stop
0 Comments | Oakland Tribune, Jun 20, 2009 | by Anonymous
A Disney train on a national tour to promote the upcoming holiday movie "Disney's A Christmas Carol" will not stop in Redwood City next weekend as planned.
The train was set to appear at the port of Redwood City, its only Bay Area stop on the 40-city tour, but track construction near the port forced the event's cancellation.
Union Pacific Railroad is doing major maintenance on the tracks near the port and would not give Disney clearance to pass through, city spokesman Malcolm Smith said.
"This unfortunate set of circumstances is a great disappointment and beyond the control of both Redwood City and Disney Studios," Smith wrote in an e-mail.
