The Grand Canyon Railroad reopened in the late 1980's and started running train
tours to the Grand Canyon from the beautiful Frey Marcos Harvey House and Depot
which has been restored to its former grandeur. The Grand Canyon has always been
a Route 66 destination though it is located 50 miles from the Mother Road. Route
66 was always the primary highway vacationers used to get there.
