Train Day - Colorado

As a part of National Train Day, Saturday May 7, Gary Carter is organizing his annual excursion from Trinidad, Colorado to Las Vegas, NM and back. Friends, family, Colorail members and the crew of the PV Bedford, RPCA 1099 will be making the trip. Train #3 leaves Trinidad at 9:50am and arrives in Las Vegas at 12:38pm. The group will then walk to a cafe downtown for lunch. The return trip leaves Las Vegas at 3:03pm to arrive in Trinidad at 5:50pm.

There may be a van going down from Denver to take Colorail members to the event. Send me a message if you are interested reserving a seat on the van.

If you have transportation to Trinidad, send an email to Gary at pueblosilver@yahoo.com.

Train tickets are being bought by each individual participant, and are currently $42. They can be bought through the Amtrak website.

Super wonderful! But I thought the National Trail Day was Saturday, May 10, not Wednesday, May 7. Need clarification, please. Also, what's the cost for Seniors? You may reply to gwiz.1jm@gmail.com. Thanks.

It was on May 7 in 2011. This year it is on May 10. Amtrak does offer senior discounts. It appears that ColoRail will not organize a bus or van down south.
