The Grand Canyon Railroad ran a double headed steam train on August 8th, 2006. Here is a clip of it leaving the Depot in Williams, AZ. Check my three other videos for the rest of the trip to the canyon

  • It's a real shame that steam operation ended in 2008, but the official website said that steam is returning on 9-19-09.

  • GCR is celebrating their 20th anniversary on the 19th and #4960 will be pulling the regular train to the Canyon for that day only. There is talk of future special runs, perhaps similar to those run over Labor Day weekend where she pulled 45 minute trips to mile post #4 and back.

  • @pgatonna #4960 is steaming againg, on a slightly more regular schedule

  • @tropicalfishswim Wish I could say that is so. It has run on special occasions and will run on this year's National Train day, but only 45 minute round trips. Although it received a brief extension, it is due for its FRA mandated boiler inspections and will not be running until the railroad completes any needed work.

  • @Jazzyhorn111 I do the same thing! The sound of a steam locomotive makes me so happy that I tear up to! Nice to know that I’m not alone on that.

  • I'm going against the grain but I think 29's whistle is perfect!

  • @zoelikestea same here, 'bye bye toot toot bye bye'

  • 29 should go to the rio grande scenic

  • The 4960's whistle is perfect!
