Prior to boarding you are treated to a full-production show. You,
then, board the train and depart for the South Rim of the Grand Canyon.
During the summer months, the train is pulled by a real steam
locomotive, - one of the iron monsters that helped make America in the
beginning of the Twentieth Century. The rest of the year they hook up a
diesel locomotive - like the ones that technology created to make our
railroads even more efficient and productive.
Sometime during your journey you will experience a mock
train robbery. The ride itself is an experience to be remembered. This
is Arizona, - known for its beautiful scenery. And you will get a good
sampling of it between Williams and South Rim. The stop-over at the
South Rim allows time for a motor coach tour.
