St. Louis Zoo Railroad

The STL train was put in when Marlin Perkins returned about 1962. The Zoo didn't have the funds to build the train so it was operated as a private concession for the first two years. The Zoo then purchased the train (I think it is now owned by the Zoo Friends for some accounting reasons). For many years it was considered to be the most profitable mini-railroad in the country.
