All Aboard the Cumbres & Toltec Scenic Railroad for the ride of a lifetime!

The Cumbres & Toltec Scenic Railroad (C&TSRR) is the highest, longest, and most authentic steam-operated railroad in America. The railroad was awarded National Historic Landmark Designation in 2012 and is owned jointly by the states of Colorado and New Mexico.

The C&TSRR operates on 64-miles of track between Antonito, Colorado and Chama, New Mexico, taking passengers over the San Juan Mountains to the Conejos Valley. The train crosses state borders 11 times, zigzagging along canyon walls, burrowing through two tunnels, and steaming over 137-foot Cascade Trestle. All trains steam along through deep forests of aspens and evergreens, across high plains filled with wildflowers, and through a rocky gorge of remarkable geologic formations. Deer, antelope, elk, fox, eagles and even bear are often spotted on this off-the grid adventure.

The railroad has been featured in more than 40 motion pictures. From classics such as the 1975 Bite the Bullet and Indiana Jones & The Last Crusade in 1989, to the Oscar-nominated Wyatt Earp in the mid 1990’s and the PBS American Experience: Billy the Kid, the C&TSRR has shared the screen with many great actors.

The Cumbres & Toltec features a mix of offerings, including:

Full Excursion Trips travel by train the full line between Chama, NM and Antonito, CO. Lunch is included.
Half Limited Trips travel half the C&TS line from either Chama, NM or Antonito, CO to the mid-way point of Osier Station and back. Lunch is included.
Short Express Options are perfect for families, people short on time, and people who want to “chase the train” as well as ride it.
