Adobe Western, Phoenix


The Adobe Western is the name of the railroad operated by the Maricopa Live Steamers, a non-profit organization. Although they are a private club they offer rides to the public on Sunday afternoons until summer when it gets too hot. There is no charge but they accept donations. The layout of their facility was well organized and allows members to store their equipment on site but retrieve it easily. The ride is through the desert and includes a view of a neighboring go-cart track. There is even a siding called Racewatch. Prairie dogs keep an eye on everything and an alert by the young man in front of me of a lion on the prowl turned out to be a large dog.
