Classes of Service
The first step in booking your steam rail adventure is choosing your car. With four classes of service, you are sure to find a car you'll love.
The Victorian splendor of a bygone era awaits you onboard two of the most legendary and historic private cars to ever grace the narrow gauge rails. The Nomad and Cinco Animas both offer two distinctively appointed seating areas, plus the Nomad also features a stateroom for four. A large outdoor viewing platform is exclusively available to those who choose this class.
Ride in historic comfort and style on one of our First-Class cars. You will be hosted by a knowledgeable attendant who will provide complimentary morning pastries, non-alcoholic beverages and custom first-class amenities.
The Rio Grande, the San Juan Coach, and Prospector Family Car are three of the most recently refurbished cars in our fleet. For those with families or just those looking for added comfort, these Premium options both offer larger seats and a more adult atmosphere than Standard class.
Choose between vintage coach seating or open-air observation gondola seating.
