The Royal Gorge Route Railroad Story
After years in the ski industry in Europe and the U.S. then running the Georgetown Loop Railroad for 32 years, our team set its sights on a rail line that had laid fallow for more than 40 years, the Royal Gorge Route Railroad.
As the first railroad in Colorado with a rich history in fine dining and views like nowhere else in the world, we knew it had potential — we also knew we had the experience, competitive spirit and guts to bring it back to life.
In 1999 we resurrected the Royal Gorge Route with five cars, a cooler of beverages and a few snacks. Our marketing was simple but effective, and our drive to grow was strong. Within a year, word of mouth spread and our marketing took hold. The charm of riding an historic rail line through a stunning canyon was resonating with people — and we let pictures tell our story.
Even with natural-beauty advantages, there is much more involved in creating a world-class destination experience. We quickly acquired new railcars, added classic Vista Domes, onboard kitchens, bars, and open-air cars while developing our vision for a railcar food and beverage experience unlike any other in the United States. Providing guests with extraordinary dining and service was essential to continued growth.
We also focused on building a talented, hard working team of tourism, hospitality, marketing and retail professionals dedicated to delivering on our vision. From hourly to salaried, every staff member developed a real passion for creating an unforgettable journey through the Royal Gorge.
