This is a fantastic way to visit the Grand Canyon and leave the driving up to someone else. Be sure to upgrade to the observation car seating for at least one direction of the trip. And if the fantastic scenery isn't enough for you there are performers of various kinds who wander the train keeping everyone entertained. This is the best way to avoid long lines at the Park entrance kiosks during the busy tourist season. You can get package deals that include lodging at the South Rim Village plus one or more guided tours via diesel coach to various scenic venues along the South Rim.
Power is mainly diesel but there are select steam excursions offered periodically.
Visit Instructions:Provide a picture of something with the train. Possible photos include the entertainment on board the train, the train itself at any location along the route, a picture of the scenery with part of the train in view, the kids borrowing the engineer’s hat. Show us you had a good time visiting the train. If the train isn't running when you visit get a photo of one of the many railway related items that can be found in locations like this.
