Скачать или смотреть Tauber Family Railroad Train Ride @ the Detroit Zoo

POV ride aboard the Tauber Family Railroad from the Main Station (front of the park) to the Africa Station (back of the park). A lot of construction currently at the Detroit Zoo but we still had views of the Buffalo and Wolf enclosures. The train costs $3 for a one way ride.

History:
The Tauber Family Railroad was presented to the Zoo in 1931 (three years after the zoo opened) by the Detroit News. The miniature railroad consists of two complete trains of six coaches each and one standby. All three locomotives were donated by the Chrysler Corporation in the 1950s. In the ‘80s, the locomotives were renovated, and new coaches were fabricated through a fund-raising campaign co-hosted with The Detroit News. The locomotives were refurbished again in 2008 with new coaches, rebuilt engines, gears, gauges, wheels and bodies. The train serves more than a half million passengers per year.
