Pioneer Park   526 E. Main Street, Mesa, AZ Map

     Since 1958, Southern Pacific Engine #2355 has sat in Mesa's Pioneer Park as a stark reminder of a past technology that helped to build this great country.  It has delighted kids of all ages for several decades and thus holds many cherished memories of days gone by.  But now, it needs our help. Fenced in since 1993, this train is slowly losing it's war against the
 elements.

      The Save Our Train Committee, a loyal group of Mesa residents and City employees who grew up with the locomotive, is dedicated to cosmetically restoring and relocating the train to the southwest  corner of Pioneer Park fronting Main Street.  The cost of this has been professionally estimated at between $100,000 - $125,000.  Our  goal is to have the project completed by 2012, when the train and our great state both turn 100 years old.  It will be Mesa's contribution to Arizona's centennial celebration.  With the blessing of our Mayor and the City in hand, we are finally under way!
