Emerson Zooline Railroad

The Emerson Zooline Railroad started out as the St. Louis Zoo Railroad in 1963 and celebrated it’s 50^th anniversary in 2013 having carried over 35,000,000 passengers.
The Zooline’s engines are are narrow gauge gas powered and ¹⁄₃ size replicas of the original C. P. Huntington steam locomotive first built in 1863 (100 years before this railroad began). The C. P. Huntington also known as the «Iron Horse,» was a main engine that helped construct the first transcontinental railway.
The route at just under 2 miles comes as highly suggested by me (get the day pass) as it can make your visit to the St. Louis Zoo quite convenient. It’s not just for kids, it is a very viable method of transportation to save energy (in the cold or the heat) and be able to see parts of the zoo that you otherwise would not. And just the same as modern railways — it still and as always gives you the right of way.
Day passes are very fair at under $ 8 and they do have a car for people in wheel chairs. Awesome staff of people from the stations to the engineers.
