For Tickets Call: 877-726-RAILPotato Valley Explorer
Route between Alamosa and Monte Vista
- Ride on a working mixed freight and passenger train
- Departs daily, roundtrip or one-way fares available
- Trains run 7 days a week / Memorial Day - Oct. 17th.
That venerable institution, the American mixed freight and passenger train is being recreated this year between Alamosa and Monte Vista. The rich agricultural bounty of barley, wheat and potatoes flows out by rail, as it has for over a hundred years. But, now there is also passenger service on these trains to Monte Vista, a mix of freight and passengers that was the standard service to thousands of small towns across the country a generation ago.
With two short daily round trips from Alamosa to Monte Vista on the Potato Valley Explorer passengers can experience railroading close up, watching as the conductor switches cars and services freight customers. There is a one-hour layover in Monte Vista, time for a walk downtown, and a snack or a sandwich. Total time for a complete round trip is about three hours.
This is a nice ride for school groups, young families or those wanting a shorter ride with morning or afternoon departures. The Potato Valley Explorer is diesel-powered seven days a week.
