Grand Canyon Railway
This line was built by the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway in 1901. In the 1980s the line was purchased and run as a heritage/tourist line. Here we see the equipment on hand at the South Rim.
Locomotive 6773, is an MLW FPA4 built in 1959, formerly of the Canadian National. I'm not great at locking down the provenance of passenger cars, but I have some information on the heavyweight Pullman with open-air platform. Don Crimmin, member of a passenger train group on FB says...
The heavyweight parlor observation is "Chief Keokuck" (yes the spelling is correct as it appeared on the car) and it was leased from the Keokuk Jct Railway at the time. It was number 1 on the KJRy. Originally the car was Pullman "Embassy" and it was sold to the Wabash in the late 40's where it was named "City of Wabash". After its stint on the KJRy it was sold to the New Orleans Public Belt RR where it was renamed "Louisiana".

After turning around on the wye junction, Grand Canyon Railway F40PHs No. 237 and No. 4128 rest up while the passengers take some time to enjoy the Grand Canyon. No. 237 started out life working for Amtrak while No. 4128 originally operated for New Jeresy Transit and was built as an F40PH-2. The only thing that hasn't changed about these two engines was their running numbers as they have kept them since they were built. Taken on 6/5/2023 Picture C) Me
