September 20, 2024 - The Durango & Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad is a National Historic Landmark. We will be riding it from Silverton to Durango, Colorado.
Since I was a teenager it has been on my bucket list to ride this train. I was disappointed however that we were booked on the excursion being pulled by a diesel locomotive and not a steam engine.
"The line was constructed to haul silver & gold ore from Southwest Colorado’s San Juan Mountains, but passengers soon realized it was the view that was truly precious.
This historic train has been in continuous operation between Durango and Silverton since 1882, carrying passengers behind historic steam and diesel locomotives and rolling stock indigenous to the line. It is a family-friendly ride sure to create memories that will last a lifetime while offering a view of Colorado’s mountain splendor inaccessible by highway. Relive the sights and sounds of yesteryear for a spectacular journey on board the Durango & Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad." Previous text: www.durangotrain.com
Part of a series I started taking last fall. They're building yet another condo building, right across the street from where I work. Luckily we have working balconies, so I can get out there and snap away.
