Located in Chama NM, this remnant from the past has up to 5 operational Steam Narrow Guage engines that run all-day ecscursions for $60/person.
The trip is from Chama, New Mexico to Antonito, Colorado. This trackage was (I beleive) originally Denver and Rio Grande RR trackage, that is now government and citizen funded, and available during the months of May - October for tourists.
They allow tourists right up in the yard
with the warning that they should keep an eye out for moving locomotives and that cinders in the eye are not the responsibility of the ownership. The switching and switch engines are run for the specatators sake only, and it is treated like a show. All in all it sounds really cool. My parents just got back last week, and I hope to have the chance to take my wife down there this next year.
