Just a nice photo of the 30-inch gauge 4-4-0 at the zoo in Portland, Oregon, which was 50 years old this year.

Thank you...

Actually the 4-4-0 #1 is only 49. The railway and the "Zooliner" turned 50 this year. The Zooliner is the replica of the Aerotrain that is the zoo's most frequently used train.

Here's a link to some more photos of the Zooliner and Railway 50th anniversary party:

I can see where the caption on that photo is a bit misleading, it's part of a whole gallery about the event, and they all have the same description, so the steam loco photo says 50th Anniversary on it, even though it was for the Zooliner and the railway.

The 4-4-0 #1 was built in 1959, so it will be turning 50 next year, and of course they're already planning a big party for that event.
