大峽谷鐵道 Grand Conyon Railway FIRST CLASS CARS

目前大峽谷鐵道 Grand Conyon Railway有數輛頭等車 FIRST CLASS CARS。

BUCKEY O’NEILL
This car was delivered to the Southern Railway in 1949 where it served on the so-called “varnish” passenger trains like the Southerner, Tennessean, and the Royal Palm. When Southern passed its passenger service to Amtrak in 1979, the Buckey O’Neill went on to serve on the Alaska Railroad before coming to GCR. The name on this car honors Grand Canyon Railway’s original founder, Buckey O’Neill, who lobbied for many years to get train tracks laid to the Canyon but was killed in the Spanish American war by a sniper while a member of Theodore Roosevelt’s Rough Riders. He never lived to see his dream of a railway to the Grand Canyon come true. The Buckey O’Neill is 78 feet long, carries 50 passengers, and features a full bar.

ARIZONA & BRIGHT ANGEL
這兩輛車都是由Budd在1951所製造的32輛部分，並在1952年服務於Pennsylvania Railroad，接著移至Penn Central Railroad。在1976年AMTRAK買下其中的三十輛並服務於線路直到2011。大峽谷鐵道 Grand Conyon Railway在2003年買下這兩輛車，並在2004年做於FIRST CLASS CARS使用。這些車長78呎，有68個座位。
Both cars were built by the Budd Manufacturing Company in 1951 as part of a 32 car order and ran with the Pennsylvania Railroad on the Congressional and Senator trains beginning in 1952, then later moved to the Penn Central Railroad. In 1976 Amtrak purchased all but two of the original 32 cars. Many of the cars were in service with Amtrak until 2001, some on the scenic Adirondack trains serving between New York City and Montreal. GCR acquired these two cars in 2003 and after full restorations in our car shop, they both went into Grand Canyon service in 2004 as first class cars. These cars are both 78 feet long and carry 68 passengers each.
