About Z & OO Railroad

Z&OO Railroad operates a miniature locomotive with a shiny red body and gold trim that loops around Ellen Trout Memorial Park & Zoo and its lake, carrying passengers on sightseeing rides through the zoo grounds. The train runs on a fixed track circuit that gives visitors an additional activity beyond the zoo itself. Engine No. 337, installed in 2004, features state-of-the-art technology including emissions control and computer-managed fuel injection. The railroad suits families visiting the zoo who want an extra attraction during their outing. A ride costs two dollars per person, though children three and under ride free. The attraction is located at Ellen Trout Memorial Park & Zoo in Lufkin, Texas. Group reservations of twenty-five or more are available by advance arrangement. This deal information comes from lufkinlions.org, the Lufkin Host Lions Club website that operates the railroad.
