Zoo railway turns 50; wants to hear from those who built it The Oregon Zoo’s railway turns 50 this year, along with one of its best- loved trains, the Zooliner. To help mark the occasion, the zoo is throwing an an- niversary party the weekend of June 14. Union members, including those from Northwest Marine Iron Works and Cummins Diesel, assisted with the construction of the railway and the cars, and the zoo wants to hear their stories. Those who worked on the zoo rail- way project, or have memorabilia to share, should e-mail the zoo at rail- way@oregonzoo.org or call 503-220- 5716.
