Zoo Train Gets Electric Upgrade

The Fort Wayne Zoo’s beloved Z. O. & O. Railroad just rolled into the future—with a brand-new, fully electric train that honors its 60-year legacy. Funded by over 200 community donors who raised nearly half a million dollars in just nine months, this modern marvel keeps family memories alive for generations to come. While it’s powered by clean energy and boasts easier maintenance, it still belts out the classic whistles and chugs fans know and love. The original engine, retired on zoo grounds, is now history—but its spirit lives on in the new 440 locomotive, a sleek tribute to the past with a sustainable, tech-savvy twist.
