The service will be fashioned after the Cumbres and Toltec or Durango and Silverton lines in New Mexico and Colorado, running about 2-3 trains per day, tickets about $25-$30. There will be no AMTRAK connection to Williams, the start point in the South, but possibly (possibly) bus from Flagstaff. It seems to be aimed at car travellers who want to spend the day-trip on the train, with possibly 2-3 hours at the Canyon each trip. Sounds like fun, and who could ask for a nicer route? -Chris hpfcla!hplvla!chris
