You are invited to join the Maricopa Live Steamers in Phoenix, AZ for our 2024 Fall Meet. You can enjoy the autumn weather, the railroad, the trains, the camaraderie of old friends, and maybe discover new ones. This is an open invitation meet, but all attending people must register regardless of their participation. If you are bringing your spouse, friends, children, etc., then they must also be registered. Please register by October 14th, 2024, and complete the Adobe Mtn General Release Form. The release form is required by the Maricopa County Park service for everyone that will be in the park.
The Adobe Western Railroad is in the Adobe Dam Recreation Area, one of Phoenix’s natural parks. The railroad has over eighteen miles of 7.5” gauge track and 1500 feet of 4.75” gauge track. The 3 covered steaming areas, 2 freight yards, and numerous storage tracks provide plenty of space to store engines and trains during the meet. There are numerous charging stations for electric powered engines.
There are coyotes and other critters living within the railroad boundaries. For safety, dogs must always be on a leash.
Some of the events planned for this Fall Meet include a multi-day mini-operations switching session, a bingo game, complimentary continental breakfasts, a Friday night pizza dinner, a Saturday morning pancake and sausage breakfast, and Saturday hamburger and hot dog dinner.
We use FRS radios with an assigned channel of 5 with privacy code 10. When running on the Serpentine line, the radio is set to 8.10. You will also want to bring a flashlight, warm clothing, and rain gear (it does rain in Phoenix occasionally). Please review our operating and safety rules on our website www.maricopalivesteamers.com.
Track plan information can also be found on the MLS website as well as a map to the MLS. RV parking and camping are available, but there are no RV hookup facilities.
Upon arrival at MLS, please check in at Ford Station for your registration packet.
Complete the following registration form and mail to the address at the bottom by Monday, October 14.
We look forward to seeing you in October.
