Restoration Activities on the Arizona & Pacific

          It took nearly five years of dedicated weekend work to rebuild the gear boxes and transmission, replace the motor, completely rewire and replumb the engine and tender and replace, reshape or rehabilitate most of the sheet metal. Seemingly endless hours and dollars were spent recreating parts which were missing or damaged beyond repair. The metal finishing and painting was performed by friends at a first rate body shop in the Phoenix area.
