A change of speed, a steam locomotive of the Durango & Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad, seen at Durango depot. A great shame that this video got photobombed because the loco was in full steam and blowing its whistle hard. I rescued this still from the video; happy days, beautiful train.
The Durango marigold, also known as Tagetes patula or Dwarf Anemone French Marigold, is an annual flowering plant that's native to Mexico and Guatemala. It's a member of the French marigold family, which has smaller blooms and is shorter than African marigolds. The Durango marigold series has large, anemone-type flowers that can be 2–2.5 inches in size and come in a variety of colors, including yellow, orange, red, and mix. The plants can grow to be 10–12 inches tall with a spread of 6–8 inches, and have dark green foliage that tends to stay low and dense.

I've often grown French Marigolds to keep tomatoes healthy but this is the first year I've tried named varieties, and am just loving the rich colours of each and every one of these old-fashioned singles and doubles...
Another richly coloured cultivar of French Marigold, this one a compact little plant so the flowers seem huge at a couple of inches across
With fire danger and citizen complaints, the Durango & Silverton has converted three of its steam engines to oil firing, and acquired former While Pass & Yukon MLW DL535E's, built in 1969 by MLW to Alco designs. These engines have an interesting history. After WP&Y's ore business ended, five of the DL535Es, including the 107 seen here, were sold to the National Railways of Columbia and shipped south in 1992. However, after WP&Y reinvented itself as a tourist road, they went back to Columbia and repurchased the five, shipping them back north in 1999!
New locomotives arrived on the WP&Y in 2019, leaving the MLWs surplus, so in 2020 D&S bought four of them and had them shipped to Durango. One has already been repainted, but the 107 still wears its White Pass colors as it heads north at Granite Point near Rockwood, Colorado on Sept. 4, 2021.

The mixed train from Durango is approaching a water tank a bit further up the track for its first water stop on the way to Silverton. Visible to the right of the train is the Animas River that the train follows for much of the journey.
This photograph was captured during a photo shoot on the Durango & Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad, organised by Trains Magazine. K-28 2-8-2 #473 had been re-numbered for the event to portray #477 with Rio Grande ‘speed lettering’ while working on the D&RGW.

Friday, 18 October 2024.
D&SNG engines 473 and 480 head out of Durango, bringing the Silverton train north under threatening skies. This morning saw snow on the peaks that wasn't there the night before.
