The Norfolk Southern Express was an addition to the zoo in 2015. Although something cool for the zoo it has not been a favorite of mine. However small children will love! Tokens are purchased for the ride at the souvenir shop. The cost is reasonable for the family. There are at least three stops on the route. The conductor and staff have been great! The disappointing aspect of the train is twofold. The most obvious is that the Virginia Zoo is not that large. So there's really little territory that the train covers. The second is that the train is a miniature not full-size. It's an appropriate size however considering. The train was made possible by a large Norfolk Southern donation. I would recommend jumping on especially if it's your first time. Younger children will enjoy the most. 3.5 rounding down.
