We went from Los Angeles to the Grand Canyon and back. Part of the fun, and I wouldn't change it for the world, was when the train broke down in the middle of the desert. There was a problem with a wheel on a baggage car and we were stuck in the middle of the desert for about 12 hours. We were able to get out and walk around and talk with fellow passengers and staff.
Being stuck was a lot like the novel/movie Murder On The Orient Express except it was the desert and not stuck in snow. And unfortunately there wasn't a murder.
