Grand Canyon Railway, Heritage railway in Arizona, United States.
The Grand Canyon Railway spans 64 miles from Williams to the South Rim, crossing through high desert plateaus and pine forests along its route.
The Santa Fe Railway built this rail line in 1901, reducing the journey time from Flagstaff to Grand Canyon from 12 hours by stagecoach to 2.5 hours.
The railway preserves early 20th century railroad traditions with conductors in period uniforms and vintage carriages from different historical periods of American rail travel.
The train departs daily at 9:30 AM from Williams Depot and returns from the Grand Canyon at 3:30 PM, with ticket prices ranging from 65 to 215 dollars.
During the journey, passengers experience Western entertainment with musicians performing in the cars and staged railway robberies by horseback riders.
