CANYON RAILS, NRHS CONVENTION 2002

---

This was a great show and an unforgettable experience for a steam fan. The Saturday excursion of 3751 and her train to the south rim of the Grand Canyon on GCRy track was really something. GCRy ran their regular steam powered excursion as well, and provided 4960 as a double-header helper to the 3751 partway to the canyon. All three engines posed at the Depot with El Tovar visible in the background. The return trip actually consumed four hours, with double headers, one train running past the other, and a triple header at sunset. My grandson Austin went with me and we took lots of photos. Great trip!
