All Aboard the Cumbres & Toltec Scenic Railroad for a Train Ride of a Lifetime!
The Cumbres & Toltec Scenic Railroad is a National Historic Landmark that operates in the scenic landscapes of northern New Mexico and southern Colorado. Renowned for its breathtaking mountain vistas and vintage steam locomotives, the railroad offers an immersive journey back in time to the late 19th century, when railroads played a crucial role in connecting remote regions. At 64-miles in length, it is the longest, the highest and most authentic steam railroad in North America, providing guests with a unique opportunity to experience the Old West while traversing through deep canyons, across high trestles, and alongside rivers.
Owned by the states of Colorado and New Mexico, the train crosses state borders 11 times, zig-zagging along canyon walls, burrowing through two tunnels, and steaming over trestles.
The Cumbres & Toltec 2024 schedule kicks off on May 25th through October 19th and features a mix of offerings, including:
