Next stop, 1880!
Hidden away in a little-known corner of the southern Rocky Mountains is a precious historic artifact of the American West that time forgot. Built in 1880, the Cumbres & Toltec Scenic Railroad is the finest and most spectacular example of steam era mountain railroading in North America.

The time has long passed since the railroad last hauled precious metals over Cumbres Pass. But its steam locomotives still labor up steep grades carrying visitors over high trestles, through tunnels, and along narrow shelves above yawning gorges amongst the stunning Rocky Mountain scenery of Northern New Mexico and Colorado. Named New Mexico’s Outstanding Attraction by theTourism Association of New Mexico and One of the best 20 railway experiences in the world by The Society of International Railway Travelers, the Cumbres & Toltec Scenic Railroad provides adventures that unfold in the easy cadence of Mountain Time.
