This train ride and time to tour and ride back beyond exceeded our expectations.
We rode in the Arizona Train car in first class and had Sheryl as our person all day. She is extremely knowledgeable and so much fun. She is also caring and inviting and such an amazing asset to your park for the 5 months she works there every year!!!
I wished we had taken a photo with her and would love to come back and request to be on her car!!! IDK if that’s possible but it would be the best delight.

We took the train up to the Grand Canyon in July 2025, at one of the hottest days of the year. We chose to ride in the dome. On the way to Grand Canyon, the car was warmer than expected, but not miserable. The lower cars were much cooler. This could be due to window dome top for the view. The return trip was cooler and more comfortable. The dome seat tickets also included snacks and beverages which were perfect for the experience. It also allowed us to enjoy the park for a few hours and not be concerned about a next opportunity to grab a snack/meal.
The entertainment on board, was authentic and friendly, yet not an intrusive. It was possible to just sit back and enjoy the ride or even catch a short nap on the way back.
The only downside for my experience was that there’s only about 3 hours at the Canyon to explore. It is a great way to scout out the lay of the land for future trips.
If you are staying somewhere in or near Williams that is not at the Railway vicinity, there will be a problem with transportation unless you have your own. Do not, count on taxi or ride shares. It is not readily available, and when it is, it’s very costly. There are also no rental car options in the area.
