AZ RAIL RAT - HOME Go to NAV PAGE

Welcome to the fascinating world of the Arizona Sonoran Desert,

railroads and the fabulous game RAILROAD TYCOON.

<>Note: MANY links no longer work because they were to the Arizona Rail Passengers Association site. These pages are now embedded in their
rebuilt site and can no longer be directly linked - BUMMER! Take my word for it, they were neat. If situation changes, will re-link. Sorry about that folks!

Follow the SOUTHERN PACIFIC to Tucson, then up through Phoenix to Prescott and west to Parker.
