Every tourist railroad seems to have it's own personality. In the case of the Verde Canyon, there seems to be more of a friendly feel and less of the corporate feel as with the Grand Canyon. This is despite the fact that both operations were started by successful businessmen who got into the tourist railroad business by accident and were assisted by their wives. Verde Canyon has a very scenic ride, Grand Canyon has a very scenic destination. The equipment is comparable except Verde Canyon has no steam locomotives, in fact they have much less equipment over all but it is used creatively with an open car assigned to each coach so you can chose to ride inside or outside and switch back and forth.
