Freestone Park, Gilbert


The Freestone Park Railroad was the first of several in city owned parks. Gilbert is one of many towns that make up the greater Phoenix area. There was a bit of a crisis when I arrived and the locomotive was up on jacks and missing its front truck. A spot of welding fixed the problem and service started about 20 minutes late. The train wanders through the park in a loop to loop configuration that I found common among these small railroads.
