This was a wonderful experience. Starting at the train yard located very close to the downtown area. There are restaurant and coffee if you want to eat something before the train. We were upgraded to the wine car in an old train car that was restored really well. The views were amazing and the dancing performance was incredible.

Absolutely beautiful! We held our wedding reception on the train and loved every minute! Great music, food and of course drinks!

Acoma car is interesting and was happy to hear a bit about the history. Compilmentary bubbly was cheap sparkling wine. Singer was nice and a good guitar player but not a singer. If you have $ to burn and need to kill a couple of hours, it is okay. Otherwise go to a roof top bar for a better sunset view and better drinks.

My family and I bought first class cabin tickets for the history of Santa Fe and Railroad. There was live music and a narrator. We received a complimentary drink upon entering and looked after the whole ride. My 12 year old son said he enjoyed it and that's saying a lot.

Fun, relaxing train ride but not much in the way of scenery and disappointed we didn't go all the way to Lamy as we had done years ago so a little pricey for the experience. Also, there should be adults only cars. Young children were allowed to continually run back and forth through the car from one open air car to another with no adult supervision. About half way through the return trip, an employee told the parents one of them had to be outside with their children. When they were inside they played video games on their devices that everyone around them could hear. The musician onboard was very entertaining and helped to distract from the unsupervised children.
