Want to have a birthday party in a caboose or a larger party in a passenger car? The party caboose has a single large open interior with tables, chairs, and plenty of room for a kids party.

Videos and photos for private/student use are permitted free of charge as long as they do not disrupt other visitors. Equipment should be limited to a single camera, flash, and tripod.
Taking family vacation photos or learning photography? Great!
Commercial photography (including for-profit portrait photography) requires a video/photo permit PRIOR to the day of the shoot.
If there is money involved (including between photographer and client), it's a commercial shoot.
We are officially closed during the summer months. However, we have a few stalwart volunteers that come semi-regularly on Saturday mornings (typically 7:30-9:00am) to work on their projects.
If the gates are open, you are welcome to enter. There is no guarantee someone will be working, so it is up to luck. Access to the display cars is not guaranteed (but you may get a chance to see inside other cars not normally open for display).
Most of the equipment is visible through the perimeter fence, so your trip won't be wasted.
Founded in 1983 as a non-profit, educational and historical organization dedicated to the railways of Arizona and the Southwest.
The Arizona Railway Museum is a community effort towards the acquisition, restoration, preservation and display of railway equipment, artifacts and mementos. We are a 100% all-volunteer operation and a 501(c)(3) Non-Profit Organization.
