As the mighty giant locomotive pulls you closer,
you're more than content to watch a remarkable world go by in the
comforts of your train car. Out your window, high desert turns to
prairie, prairie to pine. It's a view that's ever changing until you
come across a view that changes so dramatically, it could very well
change you. Welcome to the Grand Canyon.
The Ride of Another Lifetime
For history, one would be hard pressed to compete with the five million year old Grand Canyon, but the train rides make a best effort. Each train engine, both steam and diesel, and each train car, from Coach to First Class, has been painstakingly restored to its original state by a staff of mechanics who see their work as more a labor of love than a job. On the train, your crew is no less enthusiastic. Each is bursting with local and Grand Canyon folklore and history. Strolling musicians catch you up with what was hot way back when. And there's even fun recreations of an old fashioned western shoot out and a train robbery. See the Grand Canyon as few do and experience the old west with shoot outs, train robberies, and entertaining music. Reserve a Grand Canyon train ride.
