CUMBRES & TOLTEC SCENIC RR ROLLS INTO NEW SEASON The Cumbres & Toltec Scenic Railroad will conduct its first run of the 2007 season on Saturday, May 26, with opening ceremonies at 9 a.m. at the Chama, New Mexico and Antonito, Colorado stations. The 126-year-old railway these days functions as a tourist attraction, taking visitors on train rides from May through October, through the north central region of New Mexico and into southern Colorado. New this year are four steam locomotives, which were built in the 1920s. They have been restored and are fully operational. A track improvement project begun last year has also been completed, which should give travelers a smoother, faster ride. The railroad is owned by the states of Colorado and New Mexico and was part of the Denver & Rio Grande Railway.

Sounds great. Some day, I'll get down there. I have a dream, that in my lifetime, a charismatic person will come along. And be able to lead a project. Reconnecting the C&TS, to the D&SNG. Wouldn't that be something! Boxcab E50
