Narrow Gauge Rails Through Durango to Silverton
A historic 3-foot-wide narrow gauge line runs 45.2 miles from Durango to Silverton Colorado once used for mining supplies. Today the steam locomotives haul passengers at about 13 mph, stopping rarely yet accommodating fishermen and ranch guests. Silverton preserves boomtown ambiance with period crowds and attire.
