FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE, September 26, 2007

Photographers and fall color connoisseurs alike will have a chance to capture hills and canyons on fire with brilliant fall colors on the Rio Grande Scenic Railroad's San Luis Express this weekend.

Saturday and Sunday, September 29th and 30th, the San Luis Express will offer special photo stops at scenic La Veta Pass, giving passengers the chance to deboard the train at 9,200 feet and photograph colorful mountain and meadow landscapes as fall foliage hits peak color this week. After re-boarding the train, the San Luis Express, pulled by the railroad's historic turn-of-the-century steam engine, heads for the picturesque town of La Veta where passengers can enjoy two hours of shopping, gallery browsing and lunch before returning to Alamosa.

Don't miss the chance to enjoy high-mountain color this year! Book your tickets online now at http://www.riograndescenicrailroad.com or call (877) 726-RAIL.
