Taking a Ride on the Cumbres and Toltec Scenic Railway, Chama, NM - June 20th, 2023

This week, I share with you my ride along with Mrs. Freak and Freak Jr. on all 64 miles of the Cumbres & Toltec Scenic Railway from Chama, NM to Antonito, CO. The footage includes some of the valley scenes, tunnels, trestles, railroad stations, etc. mostly from the open deck gondola car. There is also some bonus footage of watching the crew turn the whole train around on the Chama Wye and going over the Rio Chama.

Nice run to film. I am putting the finishing touches on a few new kits along the Cumbres & Toltec, such as Cumbres Pass, Osier, and Sublette structures. Glad you got a chance to take this trip. - Mike McCarville
