The Cumbres and Toltec Scenic Railroad runs 64 miles between Chama, New Mexico, and Antonito, Colorado, and crosses the border between the two states over a dozen times on its trip. It was built in 1880 as the San Juan Extension of the Denver & Rio Grande, but the difficult terrain required a narrow gauge rail line. The trip from Chama crosses Cumbres Pass (10,015 feet high) and the trip from Antonito passes alongside the spectacular Toltec Gorge of the Los Pinos River. P.O.
