Exciting scenic afternoon
Leadville, Colorado & Southern Railroad的点评
点评:Riding a scenic high mountain railroad should be part of your plans when in the rocky mountains of Colorado. The Leadville Railroad will be a highlight of your trip. Its a 2.5 hour round trip ride that takes you from historic Leadville up to nearly 11000 feet along an old mining route. You can ride in open or closed cars. We did open on a beautiful day and staked out a spot on the left hand side of the train in direction of travel. The train climbs above the Arkansas River valley and provides in incredible vista including excellent views of Mount Elbert- Colorados highest mountain. The refreshments car is a good stop. They make delicious hot dogs and hamburgers to order and have soft drinks and local beers for purchase. The conductor provides very interesting historical perspectives and is entertaining. The train also stops just below the highest point of travel on the return trip to allow you to get out, stretch legs and take photos. It returns to Leadville which is a fun town to enjoy the rest of the afternoon. Cost is about $65 and adult with some discounts for kids and others. Its more than worth the cost. I actually enjoyed it more than the Pikes Peak Railway.
翻译:在科罗拉多州落基山脉旅行时,乘坐风景优美的高山铁路绝对是您行程中的一大亮点。莱德维尔铁路 (Leadville Railroad) 将是您的旅程中的一大亮点。这段往返 2.5 小时的旅程将带您从历史悠久的莱德维尔出发,沿着一条古老的矿道攀升至近 11000 英尺(约 3350 米)的高度。您可以选择乘坐敞篷车厢或封闭式车厢。我们选择在一个阳光明媚的日子乘坐敞篷车厢,并在列车行驶方向的左侧找了个好位置。列车蜿蜒而上,越过阿肯色河谷,沿途风光旖旎,包括科罗拉多州最高峰埃尔伯特山 (Mount Elbert) 的壮丽景色。途中,餐车是一个不错的休息站。他们现场制作美味的热狗和汉堡,并提供软饮料和当地啤酒。列车长讲解历史,风趣幽默。返程途中,列车会在最高点下方稍作停留,方便您下车舒展筋骨、拍照留念。列车最终返回莱德维尔,这是一个充满乐趣的小镇,您可以在这里度过美好的下午时光。成人票价约为 65 美元,儿童和其他乘客可享受一些折扣。绝对物超所值。实际上,我更喜欢它而不是派克峰铁路。
