Cumbres & Toltec Scenic RR Continues Despite Fire

As you may have guessed, we're strong supporters of the Cumbres & Toltec.  We encourage just about every Guest to take a ride on the Cumbres.

Unfortunately, they recently experienced a fire on a 100+ year old tressle that will at least need major repairs if not complete replacement.  Origin of the fire is unknown.  The end result is they need all the help we can give.

My personal request and suggestion is that you come up to Northern NM for a couple days extra this year.  While here, take a day and ride the Cumbres.  My favorite ride is unavailable due to the tressle portion of the run out of Chama being unavailable but ANY of the choices are exceptionally beautiful and the entire experience is just amazing.

Remember, you're riding a 120 year old rolling, operating steam powered museum!  Got kids?  Grandkids?  Imagine the looks on their faces as the antique steam engine huffs and puffs it's way up and over 10,000 foot Cumbres Pass.  This is an experience you can't get anywhere else!

Here's the link to their Facebook biz page: http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=1051787789&ref=pymk#!/ctsrr

  1. I would be glad to host a radio interview with someone representing C&T RR to help listeners (including Internet listeners) understand what C&T has to offer.
