I will be riding the C&TS on Saturday, from Chama to Antonito, aboard the parlor car. This is the first time I have booked to ride on the parlor car. I normally buy a coach seat and spend 95% of my time on the open car. Hopefully I will enjoy riding the parlor car, as it is twice as expensive as a regular coach seat.
I will be riding in one of the open cars (I love the open cars) on the second train on the D&S on Monday, the 24th. I always ride the open cars. Hopefully the trains will be operating out of Durango by then.
