One of the most historic ways to arrive to the Grand Canyon is on the old spur line created by the Atchison, Topeka, and Santa Fe Railway. Since 1901, the train has carried passengers from Williams, AZ to the South Rim daily. Due to the rise of the automobile, passenger service ceased in 1968. In 1989, passenger service continued--ten years later, Grand Canyon Railway was added to the National Register of Historic Places. Spend a Minute Out In It exploring the history "underneath" this timeless trip!

On the first Saturday of each month during the summer season, a fully-restored vintage steam locomotive pulls the train to the South Rim. Steam Locomotive No. 4960 was built in 1923, servicing the American Midwest for fifty years before retiring for display. In 1989, Grand Canyon Railway purchased No. 4960 and restored it to its former glory. Today, No. 4960 runs off of recycled waste vegetable oil. Take a "Minute Out In It" to watch the departure of No. 4960, and to appreciate the beauty of the iron horse.
