Rio Grande Scenic Railroad

 
A short 70-mile drive into Colorado will take you to the Rio Grande Scenic Railroad, which offers a trip in a genuine time machine. Steam or diesel locomotive Concert Trains, with cowboy singer Fred Hargrove entertaining passengers, take you through La Veta Pass at over 9,000 feet, then to the little Front Range community of La Veta. Ride in the City of New Orleans train car where Steve Goodman wrote the #1 train song of all time. Concerts with recording artists like Ricky Skaggs, Michael Martin Murphey and John McEuen are held throughout the summer on the outdoor stage on the pass. Perfect for all ages.
