About Our Railroad
preserving the heritage
of railroading
The Maricopa Live Steamers Railroad Heritage Preservation Society is a club for people who enjoy preserving the heritage of railroading. Club members and visitors enjoy two facets of our hobby:
The first are those who research and build scale steam locomotives and modern diesels.
The second are those who simply love railroading. They enjoy running, track switching, hauling and doing maintenance.
Our membership comprises people from around the Phoenix metropolitan area and non-resident members who live outside a 75 mile radius. We offer junior membership for those interested in railroading who are under the age of 18.
Many of our members build their own locomotives and cars. Other members either have their engines built or run club equipment.
Free Train Rides
Join us every Sunday, Oct.-April between 11am & 2pm and take a ride on our trains. Rides are free, and a train ride is a great way to spend some family time together. We run multiple routes, so you can experience different views in the park. Be sure to fill out the waiver above before you arrive.
