Having fallen into disuse, the original line from the Arizona town of Williams to the edge of the Grand Canyon was bought and restored in 1989. An atmospheric 65-mile journey through desert, prairie and pine, the 1920s and ’50s carriages give an insight into bygone eras of US train travel. For iconic landscapes and a nostalgic feel, this train journey is hard to beat.

Journey time 2 hours 15 minutes, from £42. More information here.
