  • any plans for 539?

  • @Strasburg1991: I haven't heard any news regarding the SP&S 539, after GCRY bought her few years ago. Let's hope someone can chime in.

  • Nice video! 4960's whistle is similar to 3751's and 261's whistles.

  • That means I'll have to chase the 3751, which is scheduled to make a run next year.

  • what ABOUT #29!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • #29 is on static display at the Williams Depot. No news on when she's coming back to duty.

  • MINI 1522!!!

  • @ThomasRivette Sir, 1522 is a 4-8-2 Mountain Type. A little more advanced and bigger than 4960, with larger drivers, too. I believe she was used for passenger service on Frisco.

  • @cchan006 - Last I heard, SP&S #539 has been put up for sale by the railroad, since there's no real need for her any more. However, I could picture her as a cosmetically-restored display out in front of the Williams Depot...

  • OMG STEAM HAS FINALLY RETURNED TO THE GRAND CANYON. WOW. :D

  • We Went To The Difrint Train Of The Grand Canyon Railway

  • now they need to convert #29...when the funds arrive

    i would never go and ride again if they didnt have at least one steamer running.

    they need to do more steam trains, maybe a couple trains a week?

    who's agrees with me?

  • that run that the 3751 is making is only a month away.

  • That Nathan 6-chime really matches her.

    4960 sure is an amazing engine.
