Holiday pricing for the Cumbres & Toltec Scenic Railroad 2023 season
THE Cumbres & Toltec Scenic (C&TS) Railroad is offering early ticket access and special holiday pricing for the 2023 season. Sales to ride North America’s longest, highest and most authentic steam railroad kicked off Monday, November 21 and tickets purchased in 2022 will receive a 15 percent discount.
According to Scott Gibbs, C&TS president, “Last year, we released tickets earlier than ever and our fans were delighted. After all, what’s better than finding tickets to ride the Cumbres & Toltec under the tree? It makes for a very meaningful holiday gift and with the discount, we anticipate we’ll once again see a lot of holiday sales.”
2023 schedule to focus on daily passenger service
The C&TS 2023 season opens Memorial Day Weekend with special weekend departures of the Chama Express out of Chama. Running from Chama to Cumbres Pass and back, the train departs at 1 p.m. and returns at 3:45 p.m. Passengers are encouraged to make a day of it; come early and enjoy lunch in Chama as well as Opening Weekend fanfare in the yard before boarding the train.
Regular daily passenger service begins June 3, with both All Aboard trips that run the full line between Antonito and Chama, and Half Limited Trips, which travel from either Antonito or Chama to Osier Station and then return to the point of origin.
The new 2023 schedule offers service six days a week, Tuesday-Sunday, from June 3 to October 21. See website for more information.
To reward passengers who book through December 31, the C&T is offering 15 percent off Parlor, Deluxe and Coach seating, with the discount code HOLIDAY22. Offer excludes special trains and is not valid with any other discount code.
About the Cumbres & Toltec Scenic Railroad
The Cumbres & Toltec Scenic Railroad follows the original 64-miles of tracks first laid down in 1880, crossing the borders of Colorado and New Mexico 11 times, as it skirts along canyon walls through Toltec Gorge, burrows through tunnels, steams over Cascade Trestle (137-feet above a roaring river), and climbs to the top of 10,015-foot Cumbres Pass, the highest point reached by any steam railroad in North America.
