The nation’s only interstate historic, narrow-gauge railway, the Cumbres & Toltec Scenic Railroad between Antonito, Colorado, and Chama, New Mexico, kicked off its 45th season on May 23. The engineering marvel was built in 1880 as the San Juan Extension of the Denver & Rio Grande Western Railroad. Rail fans of all ages will be thrilled by the magnificent beauty of the dramatic geology, deep canyons and endless vistas of the Rocky Mountains that can only be enjoyed from the historic passenger coaches of the Cumbres & Toltec.
