Verde Canyon Railroad Presents the Starlight Express
|
|
Escape the ordinary with an evening ride, where canyon breezes cool the Arizona heat. Watch as the canyon comes alive with nocturnal beauty and wildlife. The Starlight Express departs at 5:30 p.m. Plan to arrive early to enjoy the recently expanded and renovated the John Bell Train and Mining Museum. Since the new train depot opened in 1997, history has been displayed inside the depot. Now, the museum has its own home, trackside, just outside the depot doors. A fully renovated 1940’s Boxcar that was used to haul ammunition for the U.S. Army has been set up complete with track and wheel bed for effect. The Verde Canyon Railroad is often referred to as the finest train ride in Arizona and acclaimed as Arizona’s longest-running nature show. The remote wilderness of the Verde Canyon, located west of Sedona and below Jerome, is renowned for its towering red rock pinnacles and clean, green waters. The train rolls past Indian ruins, through a 680-foot man-made tunnel, over old-fashioned trestles and under clear azure skies. This picturesque setting is further enhanced by the variety of indigenous flora and fauna and the many migrating waterfowl. Over thirty bald and golden eagles winter in this riparian respite each year. Passengers enjoy this four-hour scenic train ride in first-class style aboard renovated passenger coaches and open-air viewing cars pulled by vintage locomotives. The Verde Canyon is often called 'Arizona’s other Grand Canyon' with spectacular canyon scenery on a train trip that offers visual feasts including seasonal spring flowers, fall foliage and hundreds of migratory birds, such as the majestic bald eagle. It's not the destination...it's the journey. For more information call 800-320-0718 or visit www.verdecanyonrr.com. |
