It is the longest, highest narrow gauge railroad. Rail tracks were put down in 1880, it went from…read moreDenver to the Rio Grand. Toltec pass was over 10,015. Riding on the train and looking at at how narrow the tracks were and the mountains sides where they were cut out to make the rail line. We sat in the parlor car ( last car on the train) you could go out back on the train and take pictures. When we enter our car our hostess ( I forgot her name) w met us with a friendly smile. Where each person sat there was a fresh donut, water bottle, and a small insulated bag. The in side of the car was beautiful redone. We passed old telegraph poles, and the tiny little office where the telegraph person worked. We had a truck followed us with fire equipment on it in case the train caused sparks to start a fire. Then a little fire car followed us when the truck could not. Thought that was interesting. We passed so much beautiful green fields, mountains and a lot of Aspens. I bet it is beautiful in the fall. We arrived at a restaurant train stop for a delicious lunch of either chicken or meatloaf. Best meatloaf I have had in a long time. Served by a bunch of cowboys from Texas. The trip back was relaxing and we decided to have a Bloody Mary, delicious. Saw a lot of Elk on the way up and back. Well worth the trip. So many decanted volunteers that have work so hard to keep trains like this running.

Finally a docent came over saying, "Sorry, but you can't be in here." We said we had tickets and showed her. 5-10 minutes later she apologized and said she could take care of us, but we weren't on the manifest (even with our tickets) so she'd be in the other car, moving back and forth. We would've missed all the fun information and tour, which had already been given to the other cars, should we have stayed. Or it was offered that we move to the other car, which was 200.00 cheaper, with no mention of a credit or refund. So we got off, and asked for a refund. No apologies were given. It was an awful walk of shame past an otherwise full train as we heard the workers on the radio talking about us disembarking! They were not prepared for us, and it was a 600.00 waste.

I wrote a review for the Cumbres & Toltec Scenic Railroad in Chama, NM…read more The same railroad has a depot in Antonito, CO, so here goes a similar review... My daughters, significant other, and I thoroughly enjoyed our trip aboard the Cumbres & Toltec Scenic Railroad. We were in Antonito, CO by 8AM to checkin as I was notified to be so we could ride about one hour to Chama, NM, via charter bus. We took this route since my SO lives near Antonito. As soon as we arrived at the train station, we had enough time for a restroom break which had a super long line of older women - just being truthful - LOL, then it was all aboard engine #484. Keep in mind, there are restrooms on the train. Our first docent in deluxe car B was awesome! She was funny. Pointed out features and historical facts in a timely manner. She had breakfast pastries out for us before we sat down. The docent we had after lunch at the halfway point was terrible. I spent most of my time standing with the breeze in my hair in the gondola car. The precipitation the landscape received as of June 27, 2024, made the ride much more enjoyable. It was gorgeous. The buffet lunch at Osier was surprisingly delicious. It was prepared by a women's group. Two adult and two child tickets for the whole ordeal was not cheap: $711.90 which included historical preservation fees in addition to other fees. I only wish the chairs were more comfortable and adult beverages could be bought and drank in the deluxe cars. We arrived back in Antonito at about 4:30PM. I probably won't do it again for a long time if ever again, but I have amazing photos of my daughters and memories I hope I'll not soon forget. Highly recommend.

Some argue more scenic than the Durango train. I would disagree but this is definitely scenic. My…read moretrip in mid October traveled through the high mesa country along the New Mexico -Colorado border area with trees in bright yellows. I started at Antonito CO then traveled to Osier for lunch before continuing into Chama NM and riding the bus back. The narrow gauge allowed for sharper turns and numerous picture opportunities of the engine in action. The train twists its way up the side of a mesa before heading high above a second valley floor. Occasional rock cuts plus a few tunnels add to the journey. But for most it's the chugging of the locomotive, the swaying of the car and the lack of cell phone coverage that makes this trip relaxing. At Osier the train pulls onto a siding where it is greeted by the eastbound out of Chama. Here passengers are treated to a lunch of pulled pork, roasted chicken, salads, beans, potatoes and dessert. Once full you board either the continuation of your original train or head back to where you came. The trip lasts approximately 6.5 hours including the hour four lunch and travels about 65 miles. Elevations range from the bottom at 7500 feet to Cumbres Pass at just above 10,000 feet. There is an open air car, snack car and people are free to stand on the end platforms of each car. The bus option take 1:05 to get from one depot to the other. Mine was after the trip but one could get it done early in the morning as well. I suggest doing the whole run and use the bus. It's an all-around great trip. Grumpy old man note: young kids will love this trip for about an hour. Then they are going between cars and trying to overcome boredom. If traveling with kids too young to just sit and watch for hours then I recommend the shortest trip option available.

The trolley passed us a dozen times during our stay in Trinidad, and the drivers would ding the bell when they passed him. By the time we walked onto the trolley, he was about to burst. Our tour guide was Shelly, and she grew up in Trinidad and adds some local humor and flair to the guided tour. She's awesome. There is one section where you get off the trolley and walk and that lasts about 10 minutes, otherwise, you are seated the entire time. The trolley is air conditioned, so the windows are closed. We really enjoyed ourselves on this tour, but I would especially recommend it if you have young kids who love trains, trolleys, and things that go.

They do accept donations, so bring a little bit of money, because after this tour, you will definitely want to contribute to the efforts to keep the history of Trinidad alive.
