FORT WAYNE, Ind. (WANE) - A trip to the zoo isn't complete without a ride on the Kuhneville Express.  The train has been traveling through the grounds since 1964.  It's older than the zoo itself, which opened in 1965.

In this edition of "Wild on WANE", NewsChannel 15's Nicholas Ferreri learns more about the train and hops on board as an assistant engineer.
