Sky Railway
2021 packed a wallop for many people, thus for this last precious Hidden Treasure blog of the year, I'm sharing some fun and uplifting breaking news that is oh-so exciting! It's already gaining national attention - as it should, as there is nothing else like it. Sky Railway is the cool new train adventure from Santa Fe to Lamy. A group of investors (including some of our awesome clients!) restored the 141 year old, 18 mile rail spur line, and have turned the two passenger trains into a creative, dynamic, wondrous, fantastical adventure that all ages will enjoy.
Because all the tantalizing details are online, I won't go into more detail here. Just keep reading and you'll see why this is all the rage! (my apologies for not getting this to you before the Christmas train events: the holiday chaos won the battle this year)
SF Reporter:
Train of thought
Nothing says festive like riding a train with Santa Claus. Or so we've read. Travel and Leisure magazine cheers this month's debut of Santa Fe's latest experience, Sky Railway, the new adventure train brought to life by the city's favorite patron, George R. R. Martin, along with a group of other artists and business folks, including author Douglas Preston, National Dance Institute of New Mexico cofounder Catherine Oppenheimer, artist Gary Oakley and Bill Banowsky, who owns Violet Crown Cinema. "We aren't your average railway, far from it," Martin says in the story. "For us, it isn't about taking folks from point A to point B, it's about transporting them to another time and reality." One would expect no less from the mind behind Game of Thrones and the early Meow Wolf backer. This month offers a variety of such adventures, such as Pablo's Magical Holiday, which includes both a ride with Santa Claus and a chance to hear how he helped Pablito save Christmas in New Mexico. The excursion also features a holiday singalong, and a journey to a wondrous Elf village near the Lamy Depot for cookies and hot chocolate. If you're already booked for Christmas, the New Year's Eve ride will include live music, champagne and more festivities. Non-holiday events run the gamut, from a sunset serenade to the interactive Murder on the Lamy Line mystery game.
