The railroad was built in 1956 and at the time, was the longest miniature railroad in the world! One million passengers rode the train during the first 2 years of it running. Since 1956, the San Antonio Zoo Train, formerly known as the Brackenridge Eagle, has chugged along the tracks in Brackenridge Park, skirting the banks of the San Antonio River as it makes its way through one of San Antonio’s most popular parks. Today, various stops around the park, including the Witte Museum and the Japanese Tea Gardens. Train riders are able to stop at these locations and get a return ride on the train with their train ticket. On July 18th, 1970, passengers aboard the Brackenridge Eagle winded through the park and into history when the miniature train was looted at gunpoint by two masked robbers. That Saturday in July became known as “The Great (Little) Train Robbery.” The train robbery marked itself in regional and state history as the first time in 47 years a train robbery occurred in the Wild West and the last known train robbery in the state.
