Ol' 239, Grand Canyon Railway - a photo on Flickriver

Ol' 239, Grand Canyon Railway

I have no idea what the type, make, or model is on this engine, I'll leave that to the Train Buffs to fill us in!

This is the engine that the railway was using when we took our trip. We were lucky enough to be at the station when she was pulling in from the day's run.

NIccy and I took a long weekend trip up to Williams Arizona to ride the Grand Canyon Railway. We've always been fans of train trips and getting to see the big hole in the ground was a bonus!

If you\'ve never been to the Grand Canyon the train trip is a great way to see the place. You've got a 2 1/2 hour trip each way on the train and about 3 1/2 hours for exploring at the Canyon, more than enough time to take in the sights. We took the advice of Jim Frazier and booked the Luxury Parlor car which offers plenty of luxurious seating and amenities (for Niccy) and an outside observation platform (for me).

Looked at the EXIF and evidently I had my Nifty Fifty on when this shot came along. Maybe not the best lens for this sort of picture but it's what I had!
