Depart Winter Park:  3:00PM

Please keep in mind that the Winter Park base is at an elevation of 9,000 feet.  Passengers should be in good health. To fully participate, passengers must be able to climb a few steps, and walk on even and uneven terrain.

Our train runs on track owned and operated by the Union Pacific Railroad.  Therefore we have to share with other rail traffic.  As a result, occasionally our train will be required to slow down or temporarily stop on a railway siding to allow other oncoming freight traffic to pass.  Situations may also rise where we are delayed as a result of Union Pacific crews maintaining their lines to ensure safe tracks.  We do remain in frequent contact with railroad dispatching throughout the day in an effort to arrive at our destination on time.  Should the occasional delay occur, we thank you in advance for your patience and understanding.

 


Fares

All tickets are same-day, round-trip, non-refundable, and non-exchangeable.    If you wish to return on a different day, an additional ticket is required.  Most trips sell out in advance, so reservations are strongly recommended.  Check our Summer Availability page for more information.  You may bring a bicycle in our specially equipped bike car at no charge.
