Steam to the Grand Canyon

[Dinosorable]

3751 and 4960 have some of the best looks and whistles, a locomotive could ever have!

[trainkids]

I got news that in May of 2012 3751 may make another run to the Grand Canyon Railway and double head with 4960 to the canyon! Please note this is still being decided so don't get your hopes up yet. Also does anyone know what happened to the water tender 3751 used in this excursion?

[mrshea924]

The "Let's Roll" auxiliary tender has traveled behind 4449, 3751, 4960, 18 and 700, but never 765

I have this on video it was a very good show! I wish it was on YT.

[modeltrainman12345]

this is when you say "they make like they used to" and it a shame that there so few running anymore.

3751 has one of the steam locomotive whistles ever!

[gaycowboy31]

I was on that trip both ways what a run that was

[ThomasFan3751]

This is the greatest event that ever occured in the history of the Grand Canyon Railway. Maybe it can happen again.

Wow, are you for real?

[railfanner91019]

I've rode on the GCRY, it was awesome!

[SteffanLlwyd]

Great whistle (and a pretty fine locomotive underneath it and a fine landscape to run through). Wow! US steam rocks (UK Railfan here)

[joeloveschicago]

i love 3751

[amtraklover]

Yeah it is. I just can't imagine not seeing a steam engine pulling the train to the south rim of the Grand Canyon. Oh well at least they still have the ALCO's and the F40's

[Kayushi]

still, its hard 2 wait til dey open it agin

[WhyAyeMann]

why exactly would they be doing that? curious...

[atsf3415dbr]

Xanterra says it isn't "environmentally friendly". I'm sure that isn't it. It's probably too much money and xanterra thinks it's a waste of money.

[traindude666]

Y did they drop the steam program?

[larken24]

@DanielVolker there going back to steam

[CoastStarlight11]

This is so freaking hard core!!!! 5 stars!

[Strasburg1991]

is that the whistle for 2472 on 3751?

My father and I where there at the NRHS Grand Canyon trip. One of the best steam hunting trips we ever where on. We had seats in the first dome car. Awsome!

[GMEMDF7]

2:52: Alco`s???

[RichardSwayne]

Yes

[Treyvs]

I have this video...Its great!

I love the tripleheader at the end

[HyperActive7]

A steamer going up Cajon pass is a by gone era that is for sure. What an event that must have been to witness in person on both ground and passing trains!

[NorthwestRailfan]

First to view!

I have this movie and this is one of Pentrex's BEST videos!

[NS6677]

I agree with you 100%
