ATSF #653 Hi-Level Diner built by Budd in 1956, has finally arrived at the museum on 8/11.

WE ARE LOOKING FOR INTERIOR PHOTOS!

And………we’re CLOSED for the summer.

A big THANK YOU to all of the visitors. Your support helps fund the museum’s acquisition, restoration and preservation efforts. We hope you enjoyed your visit and come back in the fall to see what’s new.

We made it through with a minimum of days with triple digit temperatures. The museum will be closed the months of June, July, and August. Members will continue working on restoration projects and hopefully have exciting new displays for the 2026-2027 season.

The museum will reopen starting Saturday, September 5. The museum is open Saturdays-Sundays (September-May) from 10am-4pm.

Hopefully, the weather will stay below/near 100. Pro tip: The display cars are coolest in the mornings.

The ARM model train layout will be running this Saturday (4/18). Saturday ONLY. It will likely be the last time the model trains run before we close for the summer.

This weekend may be the last weekend under 100 degrees. Come visit the museum before the temperatures soar.

The Arizona Railway Museum is open Saturdays and Sundays from 10:00am-4:00pm, September through May. We close for the summer due to the extreme outdoor temperatures.
