The webpages for both railroads are very confusing, have very bad colors, very fine small print, and are very non-descript
Both railpackages offer a ride either on a motorcoach/return by train, or train/return by motorcoach, complete with a generic box lunch ... Dull Dull Dull !
Who wants to even ride the BUS ? ? ?
And motel/hotel lodging is sparse and lackluster ... which is utterly stupid, lack of planning on the 5 towns fault
They charge in excess of $100 pp ... So why don't they have hotels/motels/bed & breakfasts/resorts at Durango, Silverton, and Chama, Antonito, and charge $200 pp, or have hotels/motels/bed & breakfasts/resorts packages for a round trip train from Durango to Silverton, and from Chama to Antonito, with an overnight layover, or a 2 day layover, so one could ride the train both directions, and explore the local attractions, which would generate revenue to each town.
The same way with the Grande Canyon RWY ... if Disney had a park, and hotels/motels/bed & breakfasts/resorts packages, in those 5 towns, they would be sold out with several day vacationers, boosting the 5 local towns economy's
I think you have to book train/motorcoach packages 1 year in advance ... Dumb Dumb Dumb
PS: The Aug 21 2017 Solar Eclipse is sold out in many nationwide hotels/motels/bed & breakfasts/resorts, from Oregon to Charleston 1:00 PM - 4:00 PM
