A show is presented prior to
boarding. Passengers 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. The rest of the year they hook up a diesel locomotive. Sometime
during your journey, you will experience a mock train robbery.
