Adobe Mountain Railroad Park

We visited the Adobe Mountain Railroad Park last year and had so much fun that I scheduled a repeat field trip this year.  I simply cannot say enough good things about the park and the volunteers who staff it.

We started the field trip in the Park's Members' building, where one of the volunteers talked to the kids about the Park, the trains, real trains, and train safety.

After our presentation, we headed to the trains...

Even the little kids LOVED the trains!

The Railroad Park has over 16 miles of tracks.  We went out for a ride, going roughly 5 miles per hour.  We stopped and disembarked at the Museum.

After we looked through all of the train memorabilia, the huge electric trains and other items in the museum, we boarded the trains again.  The volunteers gave us two rides!

After the rides were over, the kids got to enjoy a play train, which was the Eagle project of homeschooled teenager Alex Bivens.

This field trip is so much fun.  The Railroad Park is open for public rides, complete with Christmas lights and hot cocoa, several days in December.  According the the volunteers, those evenings are very popular!
