| Steam to the Grand Canyon: On August 19, 2002, former Santa Fe steam locomotive 3751 departed Los Angeles on a week-long trip to Williams, Arizona and return, for the National Railway Historical Society's annual convention. Pentrex camera crews covered the entire round trip, plus a side trip from Williams to Grand Canyon on August 24. These still pictures are actual scenes ("frame captures") from the Pentrex video Steam to the Grand Canyon. |
