After a successful 2017 charter season, the Friends announce the dates of two photo freight charter trains coming up during 2018.

June 2 & 3, 2018
This weekend charter will feature Locomotive 315 both days of operation. On Saturday June 2 the tentative operating plan is to run a RGS freight consist from Antonito to Cumbres with passengers being bussed back to Antonito. Sunday June 3 we will feature a train of D&RGW freight equipment with the charter operating from Cumbres back to Antonito. Passengers will be transported via motorcoach in the morning from the depot in Antonito to Cumbres. Our capacity each day will be 45 riders.

This three day charter will operate over a Saturday, Sunday & Monday time frame. The tentative plan is to operate on Saturday September 29 with a K36 on the lead pulling a mixed freight consist from Antonito to Osier and return. Our capacity will be 65 passengers with a lower one-day fare.

Sunday/Monday will feature a two-day higher end charter (45 rider cap) operating on Sunday from Antonito to Cumbres as D&RGW freight. Locomotive #463 relettered for a K27 that was leased to the RGS will operate on Monday. Locomotive 315 would then operate with the K27 on what would most likely be the second day.
