Cumbres and Toltec Scenic Railroad, Heritage railway in Rocky Mountains between Colorado and New Mexico, United States.
The railroad covers 64 miles of track through mountains, connecting Antonito, Colorado to Chama, New Mexico through two tunnels and multiple bridges.
Built in 1880 as part of the Denver and Rio Grande Railroad network, this narrow-gauge line transported miners and supplies to San Juan mountain settlements.
The railroad preserves nineteenth-century engineering techniques through its operational steam locomotives, vintage passenger cars, and original maintenance facilities.
Passengers can board at stations in Antonito, Colorado or Chama, New Mexico, with full-day trips including lunch stops at Osier Station.
The train crosses the Colorado-New Mexico border eleven times and reaches Cumbres Pass at 10,015 feet, making it North America's highest railroad pass.
