Remarks & Notes

Raton Pass echoes to the whine of dynamic brakes as 313 and four companions feel their way down the west slope on train 23, the Grand Canyon, on July 27, 1967. The summertime consist of this still-popular train includes eight chair cars, two sleepers, a dorm-lounge, a diner, an RPO and a dozen or so baggage, express and mail storage cars, including, just behind the units, the usual grimy Pennsy express car. After a brief stop in Raton, Number 23 will continue its journey west to the Grand Canyon’s south rim, via Williams, Arizona, and points west. In Barstow, the train will split into separate San Francisco and Los Angeles sections.
