I somehow imagined we would be traveling aloing the edge of the canyon... More

We had an unexpected experience at the Williams Depot. We headed there on Nov. 12 to show our 3 year old grandson the trains. Since we hadn't been there since the early 90s we were hoping that the depot would still have it's old-fashioned flair.
