As I was waaaay late making our reservations we ended up on the diesel locomotive train vs the coal classic. The good news is we got the best seats on the train. When we did the Antonito to Chama run on the Toltec and Cumbres line that was coal/steam powered. Don't remember Any coal dust in my hair but that's probably because I shave me head {I use a lot less shampoo but a lot more sunscreen} [emoticon]

When we rode the Cumbres & Toltec inside the coaches I don’t remember any grit. But I rode about half the trip outside in the open air car. And was getting grit out of my eyes for the next 2 days. Also not a good idea to be in that car thru the tunnel! [emoticon]

Another great trip is the Royal Gorge Route Railway from Cayon City, CO. It's round trip only but a great day. Many options available including the club car or the skyview car (not sure I remember what each car is called) with meal (very good) or without. Plenty of things to do in the area as well if you have extra time.
