It's been two years since the Zilker Zephyr left Zilker Park but the Austin Parks Foundation and Austin Parks and Recreation have announced that a new train will be coming this fall.
The new train will be electric this time, have a new name, a slightly different route to avoid danger from possible erosion and a renovated depot. While the new name has been chosen, it won't be announced until later this month.
This will be the third train to offer rides in Zilker Park. The first, the "Zilker Eagle" began operation in 1961.
