Grand Canyon Railway - steam is back!

[nachoman]

Are you saying they ride behind the diesels by choice or is that based off of operating logisitics?

I think they let the steam engine pull some trains out of town, and then hook the diesels up for the rest of the trip. I think they still run special steam trains over the whole line a few times a year. I've never ridden this line - this is only what I read elsewhere. I'd bet that 90% of the passengers don't know the difference between steam and diesel, anyway.
