[Philmont]: Taking the train to Raton

Hi All,

My troop will be taking the train from Kansas City to Raton this
summer. According to information from Philmont we can signup to
have their bus take us the rest of the way to Philmont for a
modest fee.

My concern is that Philmont, ideally, would like us to arrive at
Philmont on the morning of our scheduled day. The train is
scheduled to arrive at 11:00am, yet train schedules are
notoriously unreliable. Will Philmont's bus wait for us if the
train is late? How bad is it to get to Philmont in the afternoon
instead of morning? Surely Philmont deals with this all the
time, particularly since they list the train as one method of
traveling.

Has anyone done this who might comment?

Thanks for you help,

Bob
