The Copper Spike Railway, Globe

Three unusual partners, the Historic Globe Main Street Program, Arizona Eastern Railway, and the Apache Gold Casino, worked together to connect the historic downtown area with the Apache Gold Casino via a 1930 M-55 Motor Car. The result of this ambitious work was the Copper Spike Railway, which embarked on a ninety-day test run that ended on May 1st of last year. Now efforts are ongoing to make the Copper Spike Railway a permanent fixture in town.

Why don't they just say that it's a train from Globe to the casino instead of calling it a name that seems like it's a tourist trap. Just call it as it is. It's a ploy to get people to go to the Casino....thats all it is.
