Chama Moonlight Dinner Trains

Hop on board for a unique opportunity to experience the beauty of a Rocky Mountain sunset on this “Dinner Train Special”. Each of the two “Moonlight Specials” will depart from the Chama Depot at 3:00 PM and will climb the rails providing a sunset view of the mountains up to the old stagecoach stop and mining town of Osier, Colorado. There the train riders will be regaled with a tasty home-style hot meal prepared in this high mountain kitchen by Chef Steven Flowers and the staff of Narrow Gauge Caterers Inc. The return trip will bring the riders back down the mountain under the glow of the full moon and starry night sky. It is scheduled to arrive back in Chama at 9:30 PM.

Fares for the Moonlight Special are: Adult Coach ticket price is $75, Adult Parlor Car tickets are $125, and Child Coach tickets are $45. Reservations are highly recommended. Schedules and details about these “Moonlight Specials” and all train rides are available on our website at www.cumbrestoltec.com or by calling 1-888-Cumbres (286-2737).
