FYI: Our crews LOVE riding the train to and from Philmont.
That is their preferred method of travel and what they
usually will choose when we select transportation modes.
That being said, it is almost ALWAYS late. We started
planning to arrive a day early to avoid problems. There
are various places to stay an extra night in the area.
