Passengers on the Fort Wayne Children’s Zoo s train had to be escorted off today when one of the wheels came off the ride, a zoo official said.
At 2:20 p.m., the train driver stopped the four-car Z.O.&O. Railroad and asked for everyone to stay seated until zoo staff arrived to escort them, by foot or by cart, to the train station, Rick Schuiteman, the zoo’s executive director, said Wednesday evening.
He estimated the train was full at about 50 people. Each car has five rows and holds about 12 people, he added.
