On March 7th and 8th the Tucson Garden Railway Society is marking the 22nd year hosting
a truly amazing adventure for the young - and the young at heart. The annual Rails in the Garden
self-guided tour is a celebration of the fusion between nature, railroading and the little figures.

This is when members of the Society open their train layouts to the general public to allow others
to share their passion. All of the layouts on the tour are open on Saturday and Sunday
from 10am until 4pm, except Gadsden-Pacific (layout 5) which is only open on Sunday.

There is no charge to visit any of the layouts that are open on this year's tour.
Cash donations to support the Community Food Bank are accepted at each site.
