A couple of years ago we rode on the Grand Canyon Railway from Williams Az. to the rim of the Grand Canyon. About a two hour & fifteen minute ride to the rim & a little longer on the way back because the outlaws stop & rob the train. On the point was , if I remember correctly , was a 2-8-0 Alco Steam engine & behind that was an FPA-4 Alco Diesel engine , I was told that they use it for extra power . I could see why when we got closer to the rim. & for if there were any break downs. So here's a good place to see steam & diesel working together . ofcourse........they also have radio communications nowadays too . But the sites & sounds were awesome. (www.thetrain.com)
