All aboard the Copper Spike, Arizona Eastern Railway's newest passenger train service, running roundtrips and one-ways from historic Broad Street in Globe, Arizona.

Named for the copper mining region served by the railway, the Copper Spike departs Thursdays through Sundays from the original two-story depot built in 1916 and travels to the Apache Gold Casino Resort . The 2 hour round-trip excursion takes you on the same route that once brought travelers to the "Land of the Apache," nearly 100 years ago as they traveled from New Orleans to Los Angeles.

Aboard the Copper Spike passengers can choose seating in a 1950s-era dome car - featuring a glass roof that provides views in all directions - or a restored lounge car. Learn more about our cars in our history page.

Train Schedule:

Thursday - Sunday: departures at 11:30AM and 2:00PM

Friday Evening: departure at 6:00PM for the Copper Sunset Dinner Train

Saturday Evening: departure at 6:00PM for the Copper Sunset Dinner Train
