Washington Park & Zoo Railway - 2009 Edition

A series of video clips of the Washington Park & Zoo Railway on April 4, 2009. Scenes include the #1 Steam Engine pulling the Zooliner's trainset, and the #5 work train engine pressed into passenger service with three cars of the steam engine's trainset. The Zooliner was having an engine change and the #5 engine was having a broken axle replaced; however the first Spring-like day in Oregon this year resulted in a busy day at the zoo and the need for a second train.

Hey. Is It One Of Those Disneyland CA (CK HOILDAY)

[spredelectric]

@Tonytambe No, although there are quite a few similarities. They are both 4-4-0 steam engines built new in the 1950s. The Disneyland Railroad is 36" (three foot) gauge, while the WP&Z is 30" (2.5 foot) gauge. The WP&Z #1 engine was built by the Oregon Iron Works in 1959; the C.K. Holliday and the the E.P. Ripley were both built by W.E.D. Enterprises in 1955.

This very cool.  We have three trains at the zoo. Zooliner, Steamer, and one that is known as #5

Thanks for making this, my 3 year old loves it. He is looking forward to summer so we can ride it again, but this will do in the meantime.
