The first scheduled train to the Grand Canyon arrived 99 years ago on this date. The first train carrying passengers from Williams to the Grand Canyon arrived on September 18th. The Grand Canyon Railway is trying to get the Santa Fe 3751 over to Williams for its Centennial next year.
That's very interesting. Thanks for posting that. There have been a few changes in railroading in the interim! Charlie ------------------ Ship It On The FRISCO! | IAMOKA.com
It was a scary ride through the canyon in 1939. Mom wouldn't let me look out the window. We were on the river side when the train went out on the hanging bridge down there. She thought we were going over into the river and grabbed me back onto her lap. She was scared and mad the rest of the trip. ------------------ Watash
