The train from Los Angeles to Raton only arrives in the evening, so
you *have* to arrive a day early. In 2004, it wasn't a big deal for
us to stay that night at Tent City, although they did tell us that if
there weren't any tents, we would have to pitch our own. There was
plenty of space to do that, so I imagine it wouldn't be that big of a
deal.

It was nice to sleep in those roomy tents with a mattress after our
trek though....
