Description
Explore The Royal Gorge
Enjoy comfortable seating in one of our historic Deluxe cars, featuring a full-service bar, excellent service, outstanding views, and the opportunity to enjoy delicious food. This beautifully restored train car is a great place to relax with your friends and family. For an up-close-and-personal experience of this 1,000-foot deep canyon in the Royal Gorge, step outside to the open-air car.
During your trip, fresh, delicious, locally-sourced ingredients come together to make our 403 Grill menu (named after our 1950’s locomotive) a favorite for breakfast and lunch. Gather around our tasty appetizers, then order fan-favorites for lunch, like Basil Chicken Panini and Grass-fed Angus & Buffalo Burgers. Riding the Breakfast Train? Your choice of hearty breakfast burritos, pancakes, and omelets are always available on our morning departures. And remember, the bar is always fully stocked and open serving your favorite cocktails, microbrews, and wines. It’s all available for purchase aboard our Deluxe railcars.
Seating is limited due to popularity. Thus, in keeping with railroad tradition, parties of two might be combined to sit together at a table of four. When seated with another couple, you and your guest will be seated on the same side of the table. Parties of four will always be seated at the same table.
