Greetings Tim!
Like you I too just discovered this group a few weeks back and glad to see more train folks online!!!
There are quite a few Rocky Mountain train runs! I have only done two
of the many: Durango Silverton, Cumbres and Toltec. Kinda sad being I only live 3 hours south of them in central New Mexico. LOL But I hope
to get to more of them sooner than later!
Thanks for the welcome Shane.
Ray Sbaitso told me about this group so we added it to my board. There are 2 groups showing up as areas, RAILFAN & RAILFANS. I added the RAILFANS one first and there was no traffic so went back and added
RAILFAN and started picking up the messages here.
My dad worked all over them from a hi-rail truck. He said it was
pretty darn scary in places especially when the guy driving would
really get to running fast. I can only imagine. I'm in Arkansas so it may be a while (if ever) before I get to take a trip through them.
Hoping to one day tho.

I saw an episode of Great Scenic Railways on PBS (I think that's the
name of it anyhow) that showed a trip on a first class train with some custom viewing cars through the Canadian Rockies. I can't imagine how much it costs, but it looked like an amazing trip.
Step #1 - Win lottery! :)
Well, it's a plan anyhow....
