At this time, the [[Washington Park and Zoo Railway|Portland Zoo Railway]] was constructed to connect the zoo to its former site in Washington Park and other attractions there. The zoo's move to the new, much larger site was made in stages, over more than a year, with the first animals being moved in spring 1958 and limited public access being opened in June 1958, one day after the first section of the Zoo Railway opened.<ref name="oreg59jun8">"Many See Zoo, Train".

Meanwhile, the old zoo remained in operation, but in May 1959 was restricted to pedestrian access only, closed to automobile access, for its last months of operation.<ref name="oreg58may27">"Zoo Opening Pushed Back 2 to 4 Weeks".
