Feature Attractions - Durango &
Silverton Railroad - View Video As you venure along the route you see old railcars by the side of the tracks among the Ponderosa pines. There are mile markers along the tracks that indicate the number of miles West of Denver that were originally assigned by the railroad. ![]() As the train passes over High Bridge and the Animas River, it will pause to let off some steam (known as "blow down"), as impurities are extracted from the boilers, sometimes creating a rainbow effect. For each round-trip, a train will utilize ten thousand gallons of water and six tons of coal. ![]() As the train gets closer to Durango, the cliffs change to a red color, with more greenery as it enters the Animas Valley. The whistle of our train as it enters town has everyone waving to an old friend as it passes, as the train comes ambling back to the train station, home again from another run. ![]() read Intro.
