The Fraternal Twin Sisters

The two original locomotives from Disneyland, the C.K. Holliday #1, and the E.P. Ripley #2, recreated in LittleBIGPlanet 2.

These engines truly are fraternal twins, in that the are practically the same locomotive aside from very minute mechanical variations and some rather major aesthetic variations. The two locomotives were both completed in July of 1955, and are still running at Disneyland to this day.
