ANTONITO — The Cumbres & Toltec Scenic Railroad is offering ways to give to others as well as ride the antique trains.

To celebrate the “Season of Giving,” train rides are offered to help raise food and toy donations for the holiday season.  

Antonito departures will be Dec. 15 and 16.

Tickets are available online and by phone. Riders ages 13 and over will each be assessed a non-refundable $5 charge to cover the cost of candy canes and hot chocolate.  

All passengers riding with Mr. and Mrs. Santa are asked to provide a non-perishable food item for the food bank charity drive or a new, boxed unwrapped toy for the Marine Corps Toys for Tots program.  

The train rides will be one hour round-trips. Donations are distributed to families in Antonito and Chama, NM.
