Cumbres & Toltec Scenic Railroad –
We are planning two trips this year to the Cumbres & Toltec Scenic
Railroad.
The 4th of July
– We are planning to operate
during the week of the 4th
of July – July 3rd through the 7th.
Hopefully one of the daily trips will include a dinner run into
Osier with a moonlight return to Cumbres Pass.
September
–
Fall Colors event from September 27th
through the 30th. Since there is a full moon that weekend
also we are planning a dinner at Osier with a moonlight run to
Cumbres.
·
Colorado Railroad Museum – Golden, Colorado
“GooseFest” at the CRRM is now scheduled for
June 16th. The plan calls for having all 6
surviving RGS Galloping Geese and the reproduction of “Motor No.1”
at the museum together! This would be a very special reunion event
since all the Geese have not been together since the RGS was
abandoned in 1952!
·
Durango & Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad
The D&S has not set their summer schedule yet. We are, however, planning
on attending
Railfest there in mid to late August.
·
Dolores local operations
Dolores, Colorado celebrates
“Escalante Days” the second weekend of August each year. On Saturday the Galloping Goose
is operated on the 100 yards of track in front of the RGS Depot and
Town Hall. These rides are free.
The only other time the Goose may operate locally is for a special planned
tours or mechanical tests. Please stop by for a visit to the RGS
Museum where the Goose is parked and maybe you will be lucky enough
to see and hear it in action.
·
Please note that the possible
“Snow Goose” trip on the Durango & Silverton in February has been
cancelled. Maybe next year (2013)

A ride on the Galloping Goose is unique. Unlike riding on a regular train on these railroads, our passengers are able to get off when we stop at various locations along the way for “photo run-bys” or just to enjoy the magnificent scenery.
