Experience a Journey Back in Time
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 25-minute excursion follows 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 – coach cars or the restored Calumet Club car. Learn more about our cars in our history page.

From Tucson it is advised to to take 77 to Oracle Junction, 79 to Florence Junction and 60 to downtown Globe and Broad Street. From metropolitan Phoenix, Highway 60 is easily accessed by major routes and can be taken to downtown Globe and Broad Street.
