GCRY 801
Title:  GCRY 801

It was rebuilt by Morrison-Knudsen as MBTA unpowered cab car (i.e. BOISE BUDD) 1406 in 1982, tjen in 1992 it was sold to Virginia Railway Express and overhauled by General Electric at Hornell, New York as VRE car V801.

GCRY 8742 <I>FRED HARVEY</I>
Title:  GCRY 8742 FRED HARVEY
Description:  Grand Canyon Railway car 8742 FRED HARVEY was built by Budd in 1955 as one of six GREAT DOMES for service on the EMPIRE BUILDER. It was originally Great Northern 1392 MOUNTAIN VIEW, and then Amtrak 9362, 9301 and 10030; before being sold in 2001 and became American Orient Express 800742 NEW ORLEANS. It was subsequently owned by Grand Luxe Rail and then American Railway Explorer, and it was briefly painted as ARE YELLOWSTONE before moving to the Grand Canyon Railway. Its GCRY number was derived from 800742 by omitting the two zeros! The change in the fluting above the letterboard at the near end of the car shows where Amtrak removed the vestibule when they rebuilt it with HEP for service on the AUTO-TRAIN in 1985.

GCRY 800 and 801
Title:  GCRY 800 and 801
Description:  Grand Canyon Railwby cars 800 and 801 were both built in February 1955 for the Boston & Maine as RDC-2 combines. When these were rebuilt by Morrison-Knudsen as unpowered BOISE BUDD cab cars, they retained a headlight and end windows at one end. Notice the flat stainless steel where the 800's baggage door had been.

GCRY Williams Flyer
Title:  GCRY Williams Flyer
Description:  Shortly after its 11:45 arrival at Grand Canyon, passengers began to detrain from the Grand Canyon Railway's WILLIAMS FLYER. The train has been opened up ahead of the last short dome car so that passengers can more easily get to the depot, whose roof is visible above the last car. The El Tovar Hotel is across the road from the station, and the South Rim of the canyon is right on the other side of the hotel

The train is parked on track 4, while the two tracks in the foreground are 5 and 6. These two no longer connect to the main line, and are mostly covered with crushed stone so passengers can more easily get to the tour busses parked on the left. The bus parking area was previously occupied by one or more additional tracks.

Today's 13-car train - the maximum size which will fit into the station - consisted of F40's 237 and 295, open-window former SP coach 2193, former RDC's 306, 301, 800 and 801, CAFE CAR 2096, coaches 7608 ARIZONA and 2095 ANASAZI, short domes 2097 KOKOPELLI, 2094 COCONINO and 7034 GRAND VIEW, great dome 8742 FRED HARVEY and parlor-observation car 255 CHIEF.

GCRY 255 <I>CHIEF</I>
Title:  GCRY 255 CHIEF
Description:  Grand Canyon Railway car 255 CHIEF was built by Budd in 1947 as Atlantic Coast Line blunt-end observation-lounge 255. It was then Seaboard Coast Line 5834 and Amtrak 3334, before going into private ownership. The GCRY has added full-length letterboards so that all of its Budd cars have this feature. The drumhead reads WILLIAMS FLYER.

GCRY 7034 <I>GRAND VIEW</I>
Title:  GCRY 7034 GRAND VIEW
Description:  This car was built by Budd in 1948 as Burlington 4722 SILVER STIRRUP, for service on the CALIFORNIA ZEPHYR. It was subsequently Amtrak 9556 and became Alaska Railroad 7034 after being retired in 1984. It went through several changes in ownership, and went to the Grand Canyon Railway in 2004. The GCRY subsequently added full-length letterboards to match the railroad's other Budd cars, trimmed back the skirting, and installed outside-swing-hanger trucks.
