The Train is heading east as it makes yet another round trip around the zoo property. the Brookfield Zoo Railroad was known as the "Brookfield ,Salt Creek, and Western Railroad. The Railroad operation here ran in service from May 1967 to Labor Day Weekend of 1985. The tracks were slowly dismantled in stages and the equipment sat for 17 years in storage. The engines and cars now have a new home at the "Hesston Steam museum" in Hesston indianna, near Michigan City Indianna.
