Arizona Street Railway Museum

Arizona Street Railway Museum, Railway heritage museum in Phoenix, United States

The Arizona Street Railway Museum, also called the Phoenix Trolley Museum, occupies a single-story building at 25 W. Culver Street, with pale yellow stucco walls, dark green corner bands and a red glass-paned door. Its collection consists of stored Phoenix Street Railway cars: restored No. 116 and unrestored No. 504 are kept in storage, while unrestored No. 509, donated in 2020, is on display along with an electric calcine locomotive from Phelps-Dodge's Douglas facility. Photographs, maps and historical items fill the exhibit spaces.

The museum was established in 1975 to preserve Arizona's railroad history and its impact on the region's development. Over the decades, it has collected evidence of how rail networks transformed the local landscape and economy.

The museum reflects how trains shaped Arizona's growth and connection to the wider world during the region's early development. Visitors see evidence of the railroad's role in moving people and goods that built the local community.

The museum occupies a single-story building at 25 W. Culver Street in the Grand Avenue district; the entrance is the large open doorway on the left of the corrugated metal facade. Streetcars are kept indoors, so the visit is not an outdoor walk. The building opens on Saturdays from 9am to 4pm, as posted on the window.

Phoenix streetcar No. 509, donated by local businessman Mike Bystrom in December 2020, is unrestored and on display. Museum founders had long believed it was destroyed in a 1948 car barn fire that consumed seven cars and badly damaged another. An electric calcine locomotive given by the Phelps-Dodge Corporation from its Douglas, Arizona facility also stands on display.
