Accessibility

The 1880 Train is accessible to wheelchair riders or those who need additional assistance boarding in our Blue Bird passenger car. A lift is utilized to board at Hill City and a high-level platform with ramp is used at Keystone. We are limited to two wheelchairs per departure on a first-come, first-serve basis, so advance reservation of wheelchair seating is strongly recommended.

Wheelchair designated seats are 1A and 1D in the Blue Bird and feature open floor space with an additional window. Companions can sit adjacent to the wheelchair in seats 1B and 1C. Additional members of the party should select seats in rows 2 and higher adjacent to their wheelchair rider. Please leave the other Row 1 wheelchair seat across the aisle available for a second wheelchair party.

Guests who require the lift to board, but are able to transfer to a regular seat should choose seats in Row 3 and higher in Blue Bird to leave Rows 1 and 2 for parties with wheelchairs. Our on-train conductor and brakeman, designated by black uniforms and hats, will help be happy to stow walkers, canes, or wheelchairs used to board.
