TOUR 29
RAILFAN TOUR
SEPTEMBER 29-30-OCTOBER 1, 2008
This Excursion Is Limited To 75 Railfans Only.
SURE-GO


This is our 10th annual railfan event on the 3-foot gauge Cumbres & Toltec Scenic Railroad running in the Rockies of New Mexico and Colorado. This line was once part of the Rio Grande's vast narrow gauge empire. 64 spectacular miles between Chama, New Mexico and Antonito, Colorado are now operated for tourist and railfans. Our private charter train will travel into the high country of the San Juan range to Cumbres Pass, at 10,015 feet through the rugged Toltec Gorge, on steep 4% grades, including high bridges, tunnels and many loops. We will use the ex-DRGW Baldwin 2-8-2's for motive power. Our photo freight will have various authentic Rio Grande freight cars. Everything including the steam locomotive will be lettered for the "Rio Grande". Lodging in Antonito, Colorado and three box lunches/drinks are included in the ticket.
