ANTONITO, Colo., Aug. 1, 2020 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- It's a rail
fan's dream come true: a private rail car being pulled by a steam
locomotive through some of the most gorgeous scenery in the nation.
Because of COVID-19 safe practices and restrictions, the Cumbres
& Toltec Scenic Railroad is making this dream a reality by
offering an unprecedented special opportunity to rent your own
personal rail car at a fraction of the typical cost.
All it takes is for 10 friends or family to get together and
make a group booking for a private car, which is available for the
price of 10 adult fares. In usual times, a group of 10 would only
fill up half a train car, but due to social distancing, now a group
of 10 can have the car all to themselves! It's a rare treat to
experience the Cumbres & Toltec Scenic Railroad in the company
of only the family and friends you choose.
What's even better, additional passengers can be added to the
private rail car for just $50 each
for Coach, $65 each for Deluxe and
$75 each for Parlor. Please note that
no children are allowed in Parlor and no more than 10 additional
people are allowed in a group car as maximum capacity is 20.
A private Cumbres & Toltec railcar will be attached to the
full day excursion train that leaves Antonito, Colorado at 10 a.m. The Cumbres & Toltec operates four
days a week with departures on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Fridays and
Saturdays. The train steams through the mountains, cuts through
tunnels, slices along the lip of Toltec Gorge and curls through
Phantom Curve before arriving at Osier Station with spectacular
open views.
The passengers on private rail cars will have their own socially
distanced and spaced out table at Osier Station for a delicious
lunch included in the ticket price. When the conductor calls "All
Aboard," re-board the private rail car for a return trip down the
mountain, arriving back in Antonito about 4:30
p.m.
Of course, all passengers in the private rail car will also have
an opportunity to ride in the open air gondola car or stop at the
bar car for snacks or libations.
The offer is based on availability and must be booked in
advance. Certain restrictions apply and reservations must be made
by calling the Depot at 1-888-286-2737. This offer is not available
for online purchase. The Cumbres & Toltec is following all
current COVID-19 safety restrictions.
To book a private rail car, call the Depot at 1-888-286-2737.
