The Cumbres & Toltec Scenic Railroad operates a 64-mile day trip aboard a coal-fired steam locomotive, offering a National Historic Landmark experience that traverses rugged canyons, high desert, and alpine meadows along a route straddling the Colorado-New Mexico border. Travelers can choose between a deluxe parlor car and a budget-friendly coach car, with a buffet lunch included on the journey. Trains depart daily from Chama, New Mexico and Antonito, Colorado from late May through October, with a luxury motor coach returning riders to the starting point. Based in Chama, New Mexico, the operation serves tourists seeking a scenic, historically significant rail experience and is positioned within the travel arrangements sector. The railway has earned recognition from USA Today as the Best Scenic Train Ride in America and has seen leadership changes in recent years, including the appointment of a new general manager in 2024.
