Steam Train Returns After Delay

Author: The Daily News Now! June 8, 2026 Duration: 1:42

The Cumbres and Toltec Scenic Railroad is finally roaring back to life after a weather-delayed debut, set to launch its grand opening on June 13th with a spectacular 64-mile journey through breathtaking high desert and forest landscapes. Postponed from May due to wildfire risks and drought, this historic steam train promises an authentic 1880s ride — now even more buzzworthy after earning USA Today’s Best Scenic Train Ride title. With over 30,000 visitors expected and a perfect lineup with Chama’s Western Heritage Days, it’s the ultimate backyard adventure blending rail romance, local culture, and unforgettable scenery.
