Colorado has several historic railways. Riding on one is like taking a trip back in time.
The Durango & Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad takes you through the region’s mining hot spots and passes through the two million acre San Juan National Forest. Since 1881, the Pikes Peak Cog Railway has carried passengers to the 14,110-foot summit of Pikes Peak. The Cumbres & Toltec Scenic Railroad is the highest and most authentic narrow gauge railway in the United States.
