[zardalu]

my googlefu is failing me horribly. maybe you can help?

sometime in may i would love to take a weekend/day trip on a train, round trip, preferably through southern az and not central. i can't find anything other than an hours ride at midnight that goes to benson.
is there no scenic train rides anymore?
thanks so much for anyone who can help.

It looks like Amtrak only has two routes that go through Tucson, the Sunset Limited and the Texas Eagle. The Sunset Limited schedule seems to indicate it leaves at 11:30 Tuesday/Thursday/Saturday, and the Texas Eagle departs at 10:30 pm the same days.

One idea is to just go down to the Amtrak station and ask those guys - they're the ones who would know. Good luck! I'm jealous :)
