What to expect
Then, hear the train whistle pierce the fresh morning air, beckoning passengers for a trip on the old iron horse to the Grand Canyon. Uniformed coach attendants provide you with white-gloved courtesy and service. Aboard the train, enjoy the tunes of strolling musicians who conduct sing-a-longs, an Old West train robbery, and the antics of western characters as they recreate train travel as it was back in 1901.
This train will arrive into the historic 1910 Grand Canyon Depot, the only remaining log depot still in operation in the United States. Buildings like the El Tovar Hotel, Hopi House and Bright Angel Lodge salute arriving guests as you pull into the station and disembark from the train.
Choose between coach class seating which are streamline era coaches built in the 1950's and are air-conditioned and heated in the cooler months. Soft drinks and bottled water are available for purchase on board. Upgrade to first class and enjoy the opulence of oversized, reclining seats with extra-large viewing windows and at-seat cocktail service (no host bar) aboard First Class. Cars are air-conditioned and you can help yourself to complimentary morning refreshments of fresh fruits, pastries, juices, teas and coffee. Enjoy snacks from the buffet on the afternoon trip.

Clean train and nice staff. Snacks and drinks only due to covid. Slow and easy ride but there is nothing to see but scrub lands.

We bought the train ticket and the bus tour and the lunch buffet. We got the train ride only, because we were told they were sold out for the bus tour and lunch buffet. We later were told by the train conductor they did have room for us, but we had already had a handicap van take my husband and I to the restaurant to wait for the train to go back, because we could not walk around.The views of the southern rim of the Grand Canyon were spectacular! Our PSA, Teryl, was great. You can tell she really loves her job and the stories she had to tell along the way were fun an interesting.

The views of the southern rim of the Grand Canyon were spectacular! Our PSA, Teryl, was great. You can tell she really loves her job and the stories she had to tell along the way were fun an interesting. One suggestion to improve reboarding would be to let the passengers who are in A-E cars that there is one car for getting back on the train and then have a sign on that door with all the letters and then letter each car from the inside. That would save frustration for tired passengers. Thanks!We went on the Pullman Car and enjoyed the experience even tho it was a bit advanced for a 4 year old and his 16 month old brother. I rather enjoyed not having to drive that distance from the freeway for a change and then do all the road stops after for pictures. The stay at the canyon was just...
We went on the Pullman Car and enjoyed the experience even tho it was a bit advanced for a 4 year old and his 16 month old brother. I rather enjoyed not having to drive that distance from the freeway for a change and then do all the road stops after for pictures. The stay at the canyon was just enough if you are like me and been there 5-6 times. Spring Break crowds and the middle of the day made for few pictures without someone else in them but it was ok. The awe and beauty of the canyon were on display with clear skies and lower temperatures.
