Take a Ride on a Piece of History
Bring the family on a steam-powered trip aboard the Durango & Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad – a National Civil Engineering Landmark in history. The Durango & Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad was founded in 1981 by Charles Bradshaw Jr. of Florida, with the intent of purchasing the 45-miles of right-of-way and equipment while expanding the infastructure and passenger revenue.
The Durango & Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad operates coal-fired steam engines and diesel engines. While these historic lines are no longer used to transport precious metals, they can take you back in time for a unforgettable adventure. The Durango & Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad tours begin from nearby Durango, Colorado. This experience is an ideal reflection of an instrumental time in the shaping of our nation.
