2011 Summer Season

With economic times cutting spending for everyone, we can look close to home fo an adventurous vacation. Colorado and New Mexico are home to the gorgeous Rocky mountains. Many people think of mining when they think of mountains, but this is not all the Rockies have to offer. Two spectacular narrow gauge railroads call these mountains home. The Durango & Silverton and the Cumbres & Toltec. The Durango & Silverton is baded in Durango, Colorado and runs 45 miles into the spectacular San Juans to the mining town of Silverton. The railroad is world famous for its crossing through the deep Animas canyon on what is known as the "High Line." The Cumbres & Toltec is based in Chama, New Mexico and Antonito, Colorado. The line travels 64 miles and traverses the breath-taking Cumbres Pass. This railroad is consired a living museum and is the best example of an authentic steam railroad in North America. Videos of both are below.
