i've taken the Southwest Chief from Denver to LA. Which really means I took a bus from Denver to Raton, NM and then got on the train there. It won't get you directly to the Grand Canyon. It will get you to Flagstaff. I liked riding that train. Not as nice as the Denver to SFO train but still nice. It gets you into Flagstaff pretty late at night.
