About Arizona Railway Museum

The Arizona Railway Museum is a nonprofit, all-volunteer museum in Chandler that preserves and shows Arizona railroad history. Visitors can walk through a set of historic passenger cars, including Santa Fe lounge, coach, observation, and dome cars, and a Southern Pacific horse car. A self-guided walk through the outdoor equipment yard has placards explaining each piece, and the display building is also open. The site is not wheelchair accessible, and the museum is closed during the summer months.
