For all of our railroad patrons and visitors to the Southwest Colorado area

We are now operating daily and our train schedule has in fact expanded as we’ve moved deeper into the summer season.

We experienced a brief pause in railroad operations recently while we worked through communications with the Forest Service on our operating status while observing agreed upon fire precautions. Concurrently, we were able to rebook passengers to adjacent days when train excursions were operating.

All trains scheduled for Thursday, June 16 and beyond are operating as scheduled at this time.

Please know that if we experience any interruptions in service due to future fire precaution levels, we will reach out to all of our guests in a most timely manner to offer information and alternatives.
Thank you”
