As part of the festivities surrounding the Colorado 150 and America 250 Anniversaries, two special trains will run from Antonito. For two days only, the Cumbres & Toltec Scenic Railroad invites you to celebrate Colorado’s 150th anniversary aboard a living National Historic Landmark. Ride behind historic Engine No. 168, experience the sights and sounds of authentic narrow-gauge steam railroading, and take part in a once-in-a-generation celebration of Colorado history.
On July 31, T-12 locomotive No. 168 will haul the historic fleet of restored passenger cars from Antonito to Big Horn and back. Then on August 1, K-27 locomotive No. 463 will double head with No. 168, hauling the train from Antonito to Osier and back.
