About Z & OO Railroad

Z & OO Railroad operates at Ellen Trout Memorial Park & Zoo in Lufkin, offering train rides through the zoo grounds. Visitors board a miniature locomotive to tour the facility at a leisurely pace. The railroad features engine No. 337, a restored steam locomotive with a distinctive shiny red body and gleaming gold trim that arrived at the zoo in 2004. The train accommodates passengers of all ages, including children three and under who may ride at no charge. Operating schedules vary seasonally, with weekday service during spring break through the start of the school year and weekend service during the warmer months. Group reservations are available for parties of 25 or more visitors. The attraction suits families seeking a gentle, scenic experience through the zoo without walking the full grounds.
