Performances are about 90 minutes long and tickets run between $80 to $100. There are “fancier” train cars available for the higher prices. 

Museum members will have early access to tickets starting Tuesday, Sept. 26. Tickets go on sale to the general public Tuesday, Oct. 3, at ColoradoRailroadMuseum.org
