Any ideas on how to travel by train from Delaware (or surrounding area) to arizona?

Question by Mary F: Any ideas on how to travel by train from Delaware (or surrounding area) to arizona?
I have a friend that would like to travel by train out to the Grand Canyons. I have found several sites that offer tours around AZ but nothing for cross country. I don’t have any experience with this type of travel so I was hoping to get some guidance. Any ideas?

Call Amtrak I use them and they can take you from Delaware straight to Arizonia, and anywhere in AZ. The ride is good and the staff are very nice and so are the riders. JC
PS: Amtrak is a 800 number and you can get it from your phone operator.
