Previous train

Does anyone know what the zoo's previous train, in the early-to-mid '70s was named? I recall it starting from the same place as the current one, but the route was very different, going out to the far side of the parking lot. (Where the Zoo Lodge is now?) I also seem to remember a tunnel. And I think they actually alternated between two trains back then as well. I suppose I'll have to dig through my familiy's old photos one day, assuming I can find them. --Lkseitz 19:44, 5 July 2007 (PDT)
