Passenger Info
We recommend that you arrive 30 minutes before departure.
For your comfort and safety we ask that you please observe the following railroad
regulations and information.
1. Tickets provide you with the following information. Your ride description
along with your car and seat assignment will be noted. Car numbers are displayed
on the side of the train cars so that you may easily identify which car you are to
ride in. Passengers should be on board and in their assigned seats no later than 10
minutes before departure time. Passengers must retain their tickets to guarantee
proper seat assignment for the afternoon part of the trip following lunch at Osier.
2. Restrooms are located in the designated cars on the train. All cars have trash
receptacles.
3. Children need to be accompanied by an adult at all times for the duration of
the trip. Please see that they obey all safety regulations and that they do not run or
play in the aisles.
4. Open Gondola has no assigned seats in this car. Passengers are free to ride in
this car once the conductor has checked tickets and announced passengers are free
to roam about the train.
5. Snacks, beverages, and film souvenirs are available once the train is under
way. A concession car provides snacks, beverages, and souvenir items. Drinking
lots of water is advised.
6. Smoking is not allowed on board the trains. There is an outside smoking area
at the Osier lunch stop.
7. Delays may occur. While every effort is made to maintain our train and buses,
delays may arise due to mechanical, weather or other conditions. The C&TSRR
will not be liable for any delays whatever the cause.
8. Coal fired steam locomotives emit cinders and soot. Passengers will be
responsible for their own protection from cinders and soot. The railroad will not
be responsible for soiled clothing or cinders in the eyes. In the event an incident
does occur, please report to a member of our train crew. We recommend
sunglasses or safety glasses be worn when outside in the gondola car.
9. Elevation ranges in altitude from 7,863 to 10,015 feet. You may want to
consult with your doctor before riding if you are subject to heart or breathing
problems.
10. Items to bring should include a hat, sunscreen and safety goggles or
sunglasses. Open toed shoes should not be worn on the train. We further
recommend wearing layered clothing and being prepared for all types of weather
