Cumbres & Toltec Media Train 2024

The Cumbres & Toltec Scenic Railroad’s media train invites members of the media to ride and experience the railroad. The train typically runs a few days before the normal operating season begins, allowing everyone onboard the chance to ride the train before the public.
On May 21, 2024, four days before the season began, I got an early start and left Albuquerque long before dawn to ride this special, exclusive train. It was a long day for me but a fun one at that! I have never gotten an invite like this before, so I felt this was definitely worth documenting!
In this video you’ll see what this railroad has to offer with its stunning scenery and understand why this is one of America’s best scenic train rides!

Thanks 🙏

I’m from the UK have travelled on the railway twice and agree with your comment it is the best railroad in the world. I live about 64 miles from London and this is one thing that makes the Cumbres and Toltec amazing that is the distance between Chama and Antonito. I hope to return one day and ride behind 489 again as an oil fired loco!

Both this and the Durango and Silverton railroads are absolutely crucial for Colorado and New Mexico
