The 7th Annual "Rails in the Garden Tour" will be held on Saturday and Sunday, March 13 and 14, 2010.
All of the layouts are open both days from 10am until 4pm.
The Rails in the Garden Tour is a self-guided, driving tour that, this year, features eight garden railroad layouts. This year's layouts are located primarily on the east side of Tucson. During the weekend you can visit all nine garden railways as often as you wish.
 
Some of layouts open for viewing include:

• the garden railway at the Tucson Botanical Gardens (new this year)
• a large, 4000 sq. ft. old Arizona themed pike
• an Old West themed layout
• a railway featuring scenes from the owner’s early life in the Midwest
• a layout that includes a fire fighting train and a mountain, cog railroad

The diversity of the railroads and gardens promises to make this year's "Rails in the Garden Tour" another interesting and educational event for young and old alike.
 
As part of this year's tour, we will be collecting donations for the Community Food Bank. If you would like to make a donation of non-perishable food items or cash to the Food Bank, there will be collection boxes and gift receptacles at each railroad.
