Verde Canyon Railroad named "Best Railroad of the West"

Verde Canyon Railroad, about an hour south of Flagstaff, has been named the best railroad of the west by True West Magazine.This is a fun ride for kids of all ages to enjoy a quick choo choo trip (there are even special holiday trips available).
True West says about the VCR:
This 20-mile ride is not only majestic, with its spectacular earthy canyons, Indian ruins and Bald Eagle sightings on the river side, it is also extremely viewer friendly, with its open gondola cars. Plus, you get to see remnants of Perkinsville, featured in How the West Was Won (which you can now watch in its remastered Blu-ray glory). Our residential train expert, Jim Clark, cites the Verde Canyon Railroad in Clarkdale, Arizona, as a “well run railroad” with “well maintained rolling stock and streamliner locomotives.”
True West Magazine also let readers vote on their favorite railroad of the west. The winner was the Durango & Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad in Durango, CO.
