New San Antonio Zoo Train Debuts in Brackenridge Park
On September 27, 2021, a new San Antonio Zoo train, The C.W.T Express was unveiled to the public in a ribbon-cutting ceremony at the Train Depot in Brackenridge Park. The event was enhanced with music, entertainment, and goody bags to the first 50 riders of the all-new train.
The new train nods to the history of Brackenridge Park, re-introducing a diesel-styled engine to the fleet of three trains, and is the first new train to chug along the tracks here since the early 2000s. The new train was funded 100% by donations and will run on fuel donated by the Valero Energy Corporation. The colors play off the existing San Antonio Zoo color palate and create a bright and exciting design. Fundraising for a second new train is currently underway.
“We are all incredibly excited to showcase this new train to the public here in Brackenridge Park,” said President & CEO San Antonio Zoo, Tim Morrow. “The San Antonio Zoo Train has been a part of San Antonio since 1956, creating lifelong memories for generations. I am humbled by and grateful to the donors and Valero Energy Corporation for bringing this exciting addition to life for our community.”
Coming Soon: NEW Train Depot
Reimaginings for Nanyuki Market, Outpost Amazonia, and Train Depot begin Monday, June 20, and include a vibrant facelift and new future-friendly merchandise collections that focus on removing single-use plastics. But not to worry, pop-up gift shops/carts will continue to serve our guests while improvements are being made, and San Antonio Zoo Trains are still chugging along the 2-mile track – guests can purchase our new unlimited rides summer train pass and tickets online or on the Starbucks patio. Construction for Outpost Amazonia and Train Depot is expected to last four weeks, while Nanyuki Markets reopening is slated for August.
