Grand Canyon Railway Train Tour

Grand Canyon Railway Train Rides

Of all that may pull you to the splendor of the Grand Canyon, nothing is more powerful than Grand Canyon Railway’s fleet of vintage locomotives. As the mighty giant pulls you closer, you’ll discover you’re more than content to watch a remarkable world go by as you tour the countryside from the comforts of your classic train car. Out your window, watch as the terrain changes from high desert 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.

For history, one would be hard pressed to compete with the five million year old Grand Canyon, but at Grand Canyon Railway, we try our best. Each train engine and each train car 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. During the train tour, your crew is no less enthusiastic. Each is bursting with local and Grand Canyon folklore and history, as well as Grand Canyon Railway knowledge. Strolling musicians catch you up with what was hot way back when. And there’s even fun recreations of an old fashioned shoot out and a train robbery. In other words, we take you to the Grand Canyon. And back.
