Verna took this photo of the tracks and the old train station downtown this afternoon. The train station isn’t active these days since the freight trains that go along this track seldom stop in Wickenburg and there are no passenger trains that run here any more.
The train station building is home to the Wickenburg Chamber off Commerce, where they are getting ready to have their Annual Gold Rush Days this coming weekend. The events planned for this yearly celebration include a carnival, a classic car show, a parade, theater and two days of rodeo. It should be fun.
