whats the best area to sit and which side is the best? ahh still nervous about being at 8000 feet..hope I'm ok!
I would think that either side would be good. If you really want to do the best sightseeing, go the the sightseer lounge. No bad seats there.whats the best area to sit and which side is the best? ahh still nervous about being at 8000 feet..hope I'm ok!
According to an old Santa Fe timetable, 7588 feet is the correct maximum elevation for the rail crossing of Raton Pass.Wikipedia says it's 7834 feet, but the sign next to the tracks says 7588. IRRC, the highway nearby went through at a higher elevation than the train, so the tunnel could be a few hundred feet lower.
Ahh - I would think the best would be in an open observation deck...The best seats are on the inside of the train! :giggle:
There are really no "good side" or "best seats" on the SWC. Both sides are good sides.
