Leadville Colorado and Southern Railroad

High in the Rocky Mountains, the Leadville Colorado & Southern Railroad takes you on a scenic journey through untouched wilderness. Along the way, you experience the beauty of the Arkansas River Valley and spectacular views of Colorado's two highest peaks, Mt. Elbert and Mt. Massive.

During the two-and-a-half hour journey, you may also catch a glimpse of a deer or marmot as you relive history riding along the line built in the 1800s. At the depot, built in 1896, you can view old steam engine #641 and have a picture taken with the engineer.

The Leadville Colorado & Southern Railroad departs daily from Memorial Day weekend through early October. All summer, the train takes passengers in the 1955 diesel engine up to timber line and the headwaters of the Arkansas River. Mid-way, a stop at the water tower provides a great photo opportunity and a chance to tour the engine and caboose. A thousand feet above the valley floor, the top of the line stops at an overview of the Climax Molybdenum Mine and Fremont Pass..

Both open and enclosed cars are available. The train is ADA- accessible with space to move about and a restroom on board. well-behaved pets are allowed to ride. Make sure you bring a jacket or sweater since mountain temperatures vary.
