Cumbres & Toltec Scenic Railroad, Colorado and New Mexico
The Cumbres & Toltec Scenic Railroad is a narrow-gauge line winding through the rugged mountains of southern Colorado and northern New Mexico. Passengers travel in restored vintage cars pulled by a coal-fired steam engine, passing high trestles, mountain meadows, and remote valleys. The 64-mile journey crosses the state line multiple times and climbs to nearly 10,000 feet at Cumbres Pass. It’s a living history experience combined with stunning Rocky Mountain scenery.
