Adobe Mountain Desert Park/The Railroad Park

Hosted by the Maricopa County Park system, Adobe Mountain Desert Railroad Park is situated on approximately 150 acres of the the Adobe Dam Recreation Park.   With the rock covered dam on the south, desert surrounds, and mountains to the west and north, this scenically spectacular backdrop makes for a great place to visit with a lot to offer anyone who appreciates trains.

The building which houses the Sahuaro Central headquarters and Sahuaro Central Railroad Museum was once the Park Ranger Station at Adobe Mountain Park. The museum has various exhibits, some which are on loan by the members of the society. These artifacts include train models of different scales, artifacts related to the early years of railroading in Arizona, such as a conductors cap, railroad spikes and lanterns, the bell and headlight of a Porter 0-4-0 18" gauge locomotive and a gift shop. Expansion of the former Ranger Station have been made for meetings and museum operations.
