Weather
Trains run rain or shine, and the canyon can get very cold and windy at night in the winter. The train includes inside and outside seating, but we don’t guarantee an inside seat, so be prepared for cold, wind, and inclement weather and dress accordingly. Allow more time to get to your boarding location and park if there’s bad weather.
Darkness
The Train of Lights runs at night, so a small flashlight may be useful to help you move safely between your vehicle and the train.
ADA Accommodations
There are only ADA accommodations on designated covered “Open” cars, and wheelchairs may not move about the train due to the narrow aisles and doorways of the antique equipment.

You must pick up your tickets from the ticket window at your boarding location before departure. Bring your confirmation page or photo ID to the ticket window of the station.
Station agents and train crews will direct you where to board the train. Once on board, you may freely walk through the entire train (except cabooses).
The 13-mile round trip takes a little over an hour. After the first half of the trip, the train only makes a brief pause then immediately begins the return trip, so you may not get off the train until it returns to your boarding location.
