These images document the 2002 Grand Canyon Limited Excursion, from Los Angeles Union Station to Williams, Arizona and the South Rim of the Grand Canyon. Some of these photos are shown from the crew's perspective along the trip. 3751 became the first Santa Fe steam engine in 49 years to travel to the Grand Canyon, and it was a memorable experience for all that were involved. I know that I will never forget it.
