Remarks & Notes

The timetable allots ten minutes for train 23, Santa Fe’s westbound Grand Canyon, to make its Raton station stop, more than enough for the few passengers waiting to board or disembark. Somewhere back there behind all the head-end cars are a pair of sleepers, a handful of chair cars (with foot rests, the timetable notes) and a full-service diner. But by summer, 1967, it’s mail, express and an RPO that are keeping this train in business. For a few more months passengers can still ride the cars to the south rim of the Grand Canyon, via Williams, Arizona, but in early 1968 the train will lose its famous name and with Amtrak in 1971 it will disappear.
