One of the finest and most spectacular examples of steam era mountain railroading in North America.

Trains depart from Antonito, Colorado and Chama, New Mexico and promise train lovers 64 miles of breathtaking scenery and history.

Built 126 years ago and little changed since, the Cumbres & Toltec Scenic Railroad is a fully operational steam railroad jointly owned by the states of Colorado and New Mexico.

The C&TS is recognized around the world for its spectacular scenery and unspoiled vistas, as well as the historic railroad structures that are preserved on the line. Many of the buildings and railroad equipment date to the turn of the twentieth century or earlier, making the C&TS the best preserved steam era railroad in North America.
