    Amtrak to Grand Canyon

    We have been thinking of making that trip, but utilizing the Grand Canyon Railway from Williams. Amtrak has a bus connection from Flagstaff to Williams. You can actually book the Grand Canyon Railway on the same ticket (as Amtrak 7903/7904) which would be helpful if the Chief is late as a...

    Trump budget cuts Amtrak (again)

    I doubt that Trump has ever been on a train or any other public conveyance in his life. Only private jets and limousines for him and his ilk.
