Leadville, Colorado & Southern Railroad
  
www.leadville-train.com
  
The historic mining town of Leadville, Colorado is tucked away in a magnificent alpine valley at the base of the state's highest peak.  Winding through this colorful tapestry like a brilliant red ribbon is the Leadville, Colorado & Southern Railroad.
   Originating in "the highest incorporated city in North America," the LC&S takes passengers along the old Denver, South Park & Pacific and Colorado & Southern lines to the Continental Divide. But, as the old adage states, "It's not the destination, but the journey that's important." This journey is full of breath-taking panoramas across the Arkansas River Valley and humorous narratives about Leadville's colorful past. Mining and railroading were a large part of the local history, and today's passengers will find it easy to step back in time on the Leadville, Colorado & Southern.
    The Leadville, Colorado & Southern Railroad
has graciously donated  2 pairs  of Round Trip tickets as door prizes.

Friends of the Cumbres & Toltec Scenic RR Inc.
  
www.cumbrestoltec.org
   Hidden away in a little-known corner of the southern Rocky Mountains on the border of New Mexico and Colorado is a precious historic artifact of the American West that time forgot.
   Built in 1880 and little changed since, the Cumbres & Toltec Scenic Railroad is the finest and most spectacular example of steam era mountain railroading in North America. Its equipment, structures and vast landscape exist today as if frozen in the first half of the twentieth century.
   The Friends of the Cumbres & Toltec Scenic RR
