To go to Grand Canyon from San Jose you have to take the Coast Starlight
from San Jose to LA, and then change there to the Southwest Chief. The 
Southwest Chief takes you to Flagstaff, from where you take a bus to Grand
Canyon. I understand Amtrak has several package tours to  Grand Canyon.
However, I have no idea what they cost.

Incidentally, if you haven't already travelled from San Jose to LA by the
Coast Starlight, you may consider doing just that. It is one of the most
scenic train rides that I have been on.
