Four of us rode the Galloping Goose last fall. One day trip from Chama NM to Antonito CO over the route of the Cumbres and Toltec Railroad. They move Galloping Goose #5 from Dolores CO to Chama by truck for a few runs. Fare was about $100/p. The run occurs during the height of the fall Aspen season. About 24 seats are available the Goose and makes lots of stops for interpretation and photos. Everyone gets an opportunity to ride up front with the engineers. Lunch is part of the deal, usually served at the Ophir Station but last year was a fine box lunch on a siding.
We spent a night in Chama NM, rode the Goose the next day and then drove the 3 hours home from Antonito.
Really a fun couple of days, the scenery is magnificent and the old Goose is a mechanical marvel... Still running since the 1930's.
Ticket information is available from either the Galloping Goose Historical Society in Dolores CO or the Cumbres and Toltec Scenic Railway site.
The Fort Bragg Sunk train had Motorcars in it's past.They were more of a bus shape.
When we first rode their trains in the late 70s I think they still used one.
Fun times.
