Rolling Stock
As of 2010, Washington Park and Zoo Railway has three trains in normal operation: The Zooliner, 4-4-0 No. 1 Oregon (steam train) and Oregon Express. Two of them (the Zooliner and 4-4-0 No. 1, Oregon) are scale replicas of real trains. In addition, there are two small switcher locomotives that are used for non-passenger purposes. Most regular service, including all non-holiday weekday service, uses only the two diesel trains. The steam train operates on only a few weekends per year and for special events. In the 1980s, two of the three trains were equipped with wheelchair lifts to allow mobility-impaired persons to board the train, and in 2005 these lifts were upgraded so as to better accommodate heavier electric wheelchairs.

“The rolling English drunkard made the rolling English road.
A reeling road, a rolling road, that rambles round the shire.”

If he leaves it to nature to carry out the sentence.
I shall will to the common stock of air my breath
And pay a death tax of fairly polite repentance.”
