In honor of their new electric-powered locomotive, Lincoln Park Zoo will be opening the new Lionel Train Adventure on October 2 and offering a weekend of events through October 5. Equipped with coal cars and a wheelchair accessible caboose, the brand new track-less train takes passengers on a journey beginning at a red brick station and embarking through a rich evergreen forest. The 28-passenger train crosses over a quaint country bridge, continuing onto a craggy canyon and pass through a lofty birch forest before returning to the red brick station.
