About Me

My photo
I retired from the Auto Industry in the Detroit area and now make my home in sunny Arizona. I enjoy travel and photography. Although I often think of my photography as serendipitous; I really direct myself to places where those pleasant surprises are likely to occur. When I travel I call myself the "Happy Wanderer".

McCormick-Stillman Railroad Park

Friday, on the way back from Ak Chin Casino, we stopped at the Railroad Park in Scottsdale.  I had never heard of it before, but a check at TripAdvisor showed this was a top rated spot.  It was truly a great place to walk around and take pictures.  There were full sized engine and cars and also a small train that gave rides on tracks that ran through the park.  There was also a carousel, museum, and other buildings in the park.  Admission to the park was free with a small charge for the rides.

There was a large Model Railroad Building that housed an expansive layout of working model trains.  It was interesting to see the elaborate setup and model buildings with the electric trains chugging along the tracks.  Admission was free and donations accepted.

Definitely a place to visit and bring the kids along.  This would be worth a return trip.
