Railway Express Tours Details
The Railway Express Tour offers a vintage rail experience between Grand Canyon Village and Williams, Arizona. The adventure begins at the South Rim with a 60 minute van ride to the Williams Train Depot, where guests enjoy a lively Wild West gunfight reenactment before boarding the train for the return journey to the canyon. Pulled by 1950s era diesel locomotives, the train travels across the open landscapes of northern Arizona, showcasing changing ecosystems and expansive high desert scenery. On board, strolling musicians and cowboy characters add to the Old West atmosphere. While the ride does not include canyon views, it delivers a nostalgic rail experience through classic Arizona terrain. The tour is priced at 65.00 dollars per adult and 37.00 dollars per child age 16 and under. Guests must reconfirm reservations at least two days prior to departure and are encouraged to pick up tickets the day before the tour or check in at least one hour prior to departure. Rates and operating details are subject to change.
