The Cumbres & Toltec Scenic Railroad is the winner in the USA Today Reader’s Choice Award for best railroad in the United States. Well deserved.
I recently went on the railroad – the lunch trip for a half-day. I got on train in Chama, New Mexico, and saw the beautiful scenery in Northern New Mexico and had a great lunch. It rained on and off but that didn’t matter.
Trains are a throwback to a time when travel wasn’t as hectic. Travel was more than getting to a place fast. It was enjoyment, seeing new places, interacting with people, and just having a good time.
The Cumbres & Toltec Scenic Railroad is just one of the gems of New Mexico.
