Summary
[edit]DescriptionThe Grand Canyon Railway (48306379861).jpg |
At their Terminus at Williams, Arizona. From their website: Steam locomotive No. 29 was built in 1906 by the American Locomotive Company in Lima, Ohio to haul iron ore trains on the Lake Superior & Ishpeming Railroad in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula. Retired from the LS&I RR in 1960, it was sold to the scenic Marquette & Huron Mountain Railroad but was never used. Grand Canyon Railway purchased No. 29 when the line was reborn in 1989 and it entered service on the Grand Canyon line in 1990, operating until 1995. No. 29 saw service again from 2004 to 2008 after a complete overhaul. From 2008 to 2016, it enjoyed a semi-retirement as a static display locomotive, first greeting our passengers arriving to the platform in Williams, later on display in front of the historic Grand Canyon Depot at the South Rim. In 2016, Grand Canyon Railway undertook the major project of bringing No. 29 back to life to help celebrate the National Park Service’s Centennial Anniversary, and it returned to the rails for the first time in 8 years on August 24, 2016 pulling the round-trip train to and from Grand Canyon National Park. Later that week, No. 29 paired up with sister locomotive No. 4960 for the first steam double-header to Grand Canyon since 2012. |
