A remote school near the Colorado-New Mexico border takes adult students back in time — to learn how to operate steam-powered locomotives. The Cumbres & Toltec Scenic Railroad runs tourist trains each day and offers courses for would-be steam engineers.

Jenny Brundin (@CPRBrundin) from Colorado Public Radio went along for a ride.
