On a rare occasion, the Grand Canyon Railway will run their Alcos locomotives on their trains to the Grand Canyon. Per the request of a photo charter happening on the line, the Alcos pulled the Canyon Limited instead of the F40 locomotives. Here, GCRY 6793 pulls out of Quivero after being "robbed" by the cowboys that board the the train to scare the passengers.
The Grand Canyon Railroad, operating a 64-miles former Santa Fe branch to the eponymous natural wonder, is one of the best tourist railroads in the United States. It operates both steam and diesel locomotives.
