Vintage diesel engines run during the winter months. The Grand Canyon Railway travels a rail that is more than a century old and runs at approximately 40 miles-per-hour. The company offers a few travel packages that include transportation on the train, one, two or three nights in Williams and the Grand Canyon and breakfasts and dinners.
