Steam Trains Draw Rail Fans Across Mountain Tours
Steam locomotives revive a bygone era as Colorado and New Mexico restore historic lines. The Cumbres and Toltec Scenic Railroad from Chama to Antonito offers a 64 mile narrow gauge ride over Cumbres Pass with all day excursions and midday lunch. Other lines from Durango to Silverton and Cripple Creek attract enthusiasts to depots, roundhouses, and preserved equipment in a nostalgia-filled railroad landscape.
