Passenger Trains > Southbound to WilliamsDate: 12/08/18 12:12 Southbound to Williams Author: rbenko On December 1st, brother and fellow TOer stevelv and I rode the Grand Canyon Railway to and from the canyon. Great ride as always, especially from the full-length dome and the open-end obs. This was part of a "quick" Arizona weekend - he posted our efforts on December 2nd a few days ago here: Its hard to beat a Sunday of Sun and Snow
Just wanted to share a snap I took from the open-end obs "Chief" on our way back to Williams. Weather was cold and mostly cloudy on the way back, but the sun popped out for a bit as we rounded a curve about 10 miles from Williams - made for a nice scene.

The horror. Hope no one was injured.

Hope no one was > injured. You're back! Thought we had settled this one....."Delta Dick" could care less. Not Amtrak's or his personal liability. What's with you and "Delta Dick"? As far as he is probably concerned, Grand Canyon Ry could chain passengers to the roofs and it would go unnoticed by Dick. Date: 12/08/18 17:30 Re: Southbound to Williams Author: bobk Fantastic shot!
Date: 12/08/18 19:24 Re: Southbound to Williams Author: Alco251 Best looking passenger train in America.
