The first passengers traveled on the Grand Canyon Railway in 1901, and the train became the most innovative mode of travel to the Grand Canyon. It's had various purposes throughout the years, including transporting supplies to build the Grand Canyon Village's restaurants, hotels and shops. The railway also had ties to local lumberjacks and ranchers who used it to move livestock. The train leaves Williams every day (except Christmas) at 9:30 a.m. and arrives at the canyon's South Rim at 11:45 a.m.
