Cumbras and Toltec

Within easy walking distance from the Indiana Jones movie set house and bed and breakfast is the rail station for this antique steam-train.

There are three type of seating from sitting in an open cattle car being covered in hot cinders, which some people think makes the experience more real, to covered cars, to the posh: ever seat has its own window and pampered service.  Yup, I needed pampered!  LOL!

Each rail-car has its own tour guide to see to your needs and questions.  My car's docent was I figured to be about 21, until she told me she had a 15 year old son!  Well, no chance of her being any where near 30!  Or even 28 for that matter!  So, now I am in shuddering range!  Yeah, she really does have a 15 year old son and someone in Antonito really needs beat within an inch of their life!  I just have no tolerance for predators ....  Prey on the young and I really want a piece of you, but we live in a God-less culture which tolerates this!

The scenery is spectacular.
Steam is the only way to travel!

It is an entire day event riding down into New Mexico.

You have three choices:
Ride to Chamas, NM and bus back.
Ride to Chamas and bus back the next day.
Ride to Oshir, Co and bus back.

Or, if you are me.......
You ride to Oshir, through the best part of the journey, then switch trains and ride the Chamas train back to Antonito!

Oh what an adventure!

The clickity clack of the rails lull you to sleep :)
The food was great and completely edible! :)

But it was like being a pinball trying to use the toilet!  Man did I get beat up in that little room!

A true bucket list item for you to consider!
