It appears
the Grand Canyon Railroad purchased every piece of second-hand Amtrak equipment
available on the open market. Several sidings hold sleepers, coaches
and baggage cars, their ownership indicated in spray paint.
Back at the station, passengers
are invited to a pre-ride "Wild West" show. We'll shortly learn that
the Wild West Theme is important to the Grand Canyon Railroad - nearly
as important as selling alcohol. The marketing department provides
a history of the railroad which says it was built "in the late 1800s to
serve the Wild West..."
I choose to ignore the temptation
to watch grown men play cowboys and indians in a one-dimensional plywood
city for bleachers full of tourists. |
