Experience It! Durango & Silverton Railroad
The Durango & Silverton Railroad has run continuously since 1881. The line was
constructed to haul silver & gold ore from the San Juan Mountains, but passengers soon
realized it was the view that was truly precious.
This historic train has been in continuous operation for 131 years, carrying passengers
behind vintage steam locomotives and rolling stock indigenous to the line. Relive the
sights and sounds of yesteryear for a spectacular journey on board the Durango &
Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad.
