an excerpt:
WILLIAMS, Ariz. -- Contrary to
what the Grand Canyon Railway
brochure implies, you won’t see
the slightest crack of canyon
from the comfort of your vintage
train car. Panoramic views from

though, considering the train
moves you comfortably through a
glorious montage of desert,
prairie and pine. ...
