If you're ever in the Durango Colorado area, you must take the Durango-Silverton RR, either summer or winter. We did the trip in winter, our preference, and although it doesn't go all the way to Silverton in the winter time, it was 'Maaaavalous, simply Maaaaavalous'. Yes its a coal burner and there is soot & cinders but its well worth the trip. This was done in February and as you can see it was an absolutely beautiful day.
Beautiful! We did the trip on our honeymoon in June 1971 and it's on our "to go back to" list. If you go, you should also drive U.S. 550 (the Million Dollar Highway) from Durango to at least Ouray.
