Arizona Eastern Railway Heisler #3 at the AZER shops in Globe, AZ. on March 22, 2009. This former Craig Mountain Lumber/Kettle Moraine RR locomotive is scheduled to return to the rails in early April hauling passengers on the 10-mile long 'Copper Spike' excursion train between Globe and Apache Gold Casino, AZ. The 1917-built locomotive is the first steam active engine in Arizona since the Grand Canyon Railway discontinued steam operations in 2008.
