ALBUQUERQUE – A review of Albuquerque records shows that the city’s BioPark zoo train has experienced derailments and injuries in recent years.

A review of five years’ worth of maintenance records at Albuquerque City Hall revealed several mentions of derailments, KOB-TV reports.

Records show a rear driver side wheel broke off, causing the engine to bottom out and the train to derail in May 2018.

Former train conductor James Lakatos said he was thrown from the conductor’s chair and was taken to urgent care after reporting back pain.

Lakatos later filed a lawsuit, saying the city had a “history of ignoring train maintenance and a culture of ‘do nothing until it breaks.’”

Albuquerque’s Cultural Service Department deputy director Hakim Bellamy said injuries on the train are rare.

“The train is very safe because the train is very slow – it tops out in the park at like two miles an hour,” Bellamy said.
