Maricopa Live Steamers        

"The Adobe Western Railroad"

Phoenix, Arizona


Maricopa Live Steamers Held Their Annual Fall Meet October 18th - 21st 2007.  The Meet Was Well Attended With Railroaders From Arizona, Califorina, Nevada, Washington,
The East Coast & Canada.  The Weather Was Clear & Very Warm At Least To A Non-Native As Myself.  I Rode The Railroad In The Evening & Found It To Be Extremely
Pleasant With A Nice Desert Breeze.  I Will Post Evening Pixs As I Spent Most Of My Time There After Dark.  This Track Is Fully Blocked Signaled & Ran From A Computerized Dispatch Center.  A First Class 1/8 Scale Railroad Indeed That Is Very Impressive.  Peering Out Into The Distance While Night Running & Seeing Block Signals Is Really Neat.  I Have Every Intention Of Visiting "The Adobe Western Railroad" Again & One Day Running There Too.  I Had A Great Time Thanks To Jim Manley & The Maricopa Membership!
