Saturday Starlight Tour
Travel in luxury. The Caboose features six oversized chairs near panoramic windows and access to private outdoor viewing platforms. Two cupola seats afford a bird’s-eye view of the Canyon, rarely seen by one without wings. A personal valet pours complimentary Champagne upon departure and serves fresh Southwestern-style appetizers. Non-alcoholic beverages and water are complimentary. A choice of premium alcoholic drinks is available throughout the trip.
We will let the stars steal the show during the Dark Skies Constellation Ride on August 18.
Travel in the historic seating arrangement that has characterized train travel from its inception. Vintage Pullman-style upholstered seats are near panoramic windows. Approximate 74 people ride comfortably in each individually designed car with convenient food and beverage centers which sell snacks, drinks and some alcoholic beverages. Each car accesses a shaded open-air viewing car, which is like getting two seats for the price of one.
Travel in style in one of eight first-class cars, all accessing open-air viewing cars. Each car has panoramic windows and living room-style seating with love seats and bistro-style chairs and tables. Along with spacious accommodations, first-class passage includes Champagne upon departure, full-service cash bars with premium liquor, beverage service at your seat and complimentary appetizers reflecting the Southwest. First-class has fewer passengers indoors and out. With the ability to float between you are getting two seats for the price of one.

The Tequila Sunset Limited is a spirited adventure which celebrates the jewel of the agave plant. Offered only in first-class during a Starlight Tour from June through September, premium tequila tastings are featured along with a festive south-of-the-border buffet, Mexican coffees and specialty tequila drinks … and you don’t even need a passport.
"The scenery is spectacular, with every season offering a different view. If you’re lucky, Bald Eagles will make an appearance."
