The Durango to Silverton run #1...
Feb 25, 2019 03:15:31 #
My wife and I rode this train and enjoyed it immensely. I might advise everyone to either ride the indoor cars or wear a hat 'cause the black smoke and particles therein sure play havoc with your coif. 
I likely don't have any shots that haven't already been posted about this trip since it's so popular and so many people ride it but maybe there's something of interest as we begin with a shot of the yard in Durango.

The coal particles are palatable if you like coal...
Some folks like the rock wall side...
...to keep from seeing the drop off on the other side.
The view from the rear cars...
The scenery along the way isn't half bad...
Just around the bend from Silverton which sits at the base of that snow covered peak ahead...

That looks like it would be great ride. Thanks for sharing.
...sure is a good way to step back in time about 150 years and everyone seems to enjoy it immensely, as did I. Everybody ought to do it at least once.

Still haven't made the trip, but hopefully someday. Thanks for the post. 
I bet you'd like it. Sometimes you just have to turn loose and do it, you know and there's no time like the present.
