As Zoo trains go, the Denver Zoo Pioneer Railroad is nothing unique except it's run with natural gas. The engine and cars were built by Uhrich Locomotive Works which is an outfit on I-70 east of Denver. Although this engine is a non-steam replica, Uhrich does steam work right up to the full size engines. The trip was pretty short, a small loop with no narration and nothing to see that you couldn't see walking around. The Denver Zoo itself is very nice. It's clean, well landscaped and the animals are presented in an informative way. It's bigger than I expected and I'm sure I missed a lot of it. I had other places to be in the afternoon and left right after eating lunch.
