    We had Bandits stop the train and came through the rail cars acting out a holdup. Then a sheriff came through after the bandits.

    This is maybe your best ever video. The timing and the scenery are just perfect, and your geeky, pure excitement just complete it. Thank you for sharing.

    My husband and I rode this trip in 2015. The staff was so friendly and accommodating. My husband was wheelchair bound and they did not hesitate to make us feel special during this trip. Of course you need to specify the need for special services when booking your trip. Precious memories were recalled while viewing your video. That was the last trip we took before my husband passed away. Thank you .

    We took this train trip a couple of years ago. Really enjoyed it and you have plenty of time to explore that area of the rim. We hiked out to Yavapai Point and back. The nice thing is that your ticket gets you back into the park for a second day. So we drove back the next day and explored the rest of the south rim.

    This is one amazing journey. I was fortunate enough to have traveled on this train during the 150 year anniversary when they used 2 steam locomotives to haul the train. It was a memorable experience!

    In the summer of 2010 I did a Titan Tour (called Coast to Coast, From Sea to Shining Sea) and travelling by rail from New York to San Francisco via Washington DC, Chicago, Denver. At Denver we stopped for a couple of days then on to Durango & Silverton for their railway. Then onto Williams for the GCR. We stayed overnight in the Railways hotel there and then on the GCR with a steam hauled loco to the canyon. As well as the folk singer we had a staged holdup with six guns. Brought back memories of a great trip. After the canyon we went on to Flagstaff and caught Amtrak to Los Angeles, then on again to San Francisco. The trip took three weeks with sleepers Washington to Chicago, Chicago to Denver and Flagstaff to LA. Not a cheap holiday by any means but memorable.

    amazing trip report you got to travel on a almost century old vintage passenger coach that and the rest of the train really has a historic vibe to it aswell as the desert scenery on the outside you got to see the traditional American west but the best thing is the open windows you can do window hanging (with your device of course) without seeing trains pass in the opposite direction blocking the view

    The term I have always heard used for the seats in the coach you rode in is "walkover" seats. Meaning you walk the seat-back from one side to the other. The better ones also change the side the footrest is on at the same time. The cafe car came from Amtrak service, a "Heritage" lounge car, formerly numbered in the

    What a wonderful trip, It brought back great memories. This is the last trip (about 2015) that I had with my recently departed wife and I had.. I am looking at her picture of the two of us that was taken on this train in the observation car. I was blessed. Thank You! Thank You!

    I remember taking 2 separate dinner trains on 2 different occasions. One on the Strasburg to Paradise Jct. and another on the Conway Scenic Railroad. Both I would recommend paying a visit.

    I just got back from this trip! I rode in the luxury dome and the parlor car. $226 to be honest isn’t too bad for above first class. I highly recommend it because not only can you Wander through your cars, you can wander through the entire train and then retreat to your couch up in the dome. Best train trip I’ve ever been on!

    I love the concept of the flip-seats. I can never decide between rows or vis-à-vis, but I hate when airpline style rows are not in the direction of travel. Even if I enjoy sitting in the wrong direction in vis-à-vis seats, somehow airline style seats trigger my ocd. :D

    You have noticed the sunshine in the west. The clear air and sky. Makes a beautiful difference in pictures. And in person it is unforgettable.

    I did this trip back in 2018, it was great, I didn't managed to see the gunfight as my family and I took a wrong turn in LA, but still took the train. I took dome class (1st time I've ever seen or ridden in one) and that was brillant
