Train robbery anniversary commemorated with reenactments to raise funds for San Antonio Zoo
SAN ANTONIO What were once scary moments 50 years ago for passengers aboard a small train were reenacted on Saturday for a completely different purpose to help keep the San Antonio Zoo afloat amid the coronavirus pandemic. The Brackenridge Eagle train, which took passengers on a tour around the zoo and the Brackenridge Park area, was robbed at gunpoint by two masked men. All of the proceeds go toward buying a new engine for the current Eagle train. Its a very fun time, said Vice President of Communications for the San Antonio Zoo Hope Roth.
