“ "Do you know why RAMBLEY the Raccoon loves RAMBLEY's Railroad?
'Cause I like trains!"
—-Rambley, as the player makes their way to the ride
Rambley’s Railroad is a train-themed attraction in Indigo Park, starring Rambley the Raccoon as the train conductor.
Overview
Rambley's Railroad is a train-themed dark ride that slowly travels through different cartoony areas for five characters: Rambley the Raccoon, Mollie Macaw, Finley the Sea Serpent, Salem the Skunk, and Lloyd The Lion. The ride has a primarily Old Western theme befitting of its main character, Rambley, while shifting into themes relevant to each character whose sections are visited.
The queue area at the start of the ride has an old train station feel to it with fake wooden paneling along the walls and a curved roof. The room is lit by wall-mounted and chandelier electric candles and separated by black metal fencing to maintain a proper line flow, with a large, dirty statue of a waving Rambley atop a platform in the center.
The line segues into a side hallway with framed monitors lining the ceiling before circling back to the main queue area. Most of the wall-mounted electric candles are burnt out, necessitating use of the flashlight to see properly. The line then exits at the back of the main area, where an elevated platform allows guests to board the ride cars in the design of a bright purple passenger steam locomotive.

Salem
When the player enters this section of the ride, Rambley will start glitching out. The player will need to go backstage to repair the ride in order to continue. This area is covered in rubble, but if this rubble is removed with third-party tools, a wilderness backdrop can be seen. The train tracks ahead lead up a ramp between Salem's section and Lloyd's.
Dialogue
- [The ride stops, and Rambley starts glitching]
- [The player steps off the ride, enters backstage and encounters an animatronic of Mollie]

Lloyd
The player enters a theater, where they see a cardboard cutout of Lloyd on a stage with audience members cheering below him. You can see Mollie's animal form peeking out from one of the curtains. The train cars accelerate when leaving this section, resulting in Lloyd still speaking as the ride leaves. After this, the player finishes the ride and is now in the main area of the park.

Steam & Steel Souvenirs
- Main article: Steam and Steel Souvenirs
The ending of the railroad leads the player to Steam & Steel Souvenirs, a gift shop with Indigo Park merchandise all over the room. The gift shop opens from the end of the ride to a Trackside Memories desk where visitors can acquire photos from their ride. One of the photos taken during the player's ride shows Mollie running on the tracks. The gift shop exits into the Park Square.

Trivia
- Rambley's Railroad is based on Mickey and Minnie's Runaway Railway ride.
- It was formerly known as Lloyd's Limos.[1] This itself is a reference to both The Great Movie Ride (a ride that took guests on tours through recreations of iconic movie scenes, which the Runaway Railway replaced) and to Superstar Limo (a ride that treated guests as celebrities arriving in Hollywood and given limousine tours to encounter various other celebrities. It was received negatively by guests and was closed down within a year of its opening before being replaced).
- If the player turns around right at the start of Rambley's section, a picture can be seen of Lloyd appearing to hand over ownership of the ride to Rambley.[2] This is based on a similar image of the Disney characters Mr. Toad handing a deed over to Owl,[3] symbolizing the replacement of Mr. Toad's Wild Ride with The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh.
- Prior to the Version 1.1 update, the lineup entrance was an unthemed blank room with a multicolored square tile floor. The monitors in the side hallway were beige CRT monitors, which is uncommon, since real life parks used CRT televisions instead.
- As part of the Version 1.1 redesign of the lineup entrance, speakers in the area play a new remix of the Indigo Park main theme that was not included in the Chapter 1 soundtrack due to its late introduction. When asked about the track during a livestream, UniqueGeese has stated the possibility of it being lumped in with the Chapter 2 soundtrack for this very reason.
- Though its concept wasn't publicly shown until well into the second chapter's development (outside of an "out-of-context spoiler" posted by UniqueGeese), the partially destroyed beach area in Mollie's general section fits the theme of Mollie, Ahoy!, an animated series within the context of the game's lore in which Mollie crash-lands on a tropical island and becomes the captain of a pirate crew.
