Durango to Silverton
Tuesday, August 22, 2006
We’re taking a short trip to Durango, CO. Staying over night (at the Slater Hotel) and drive up to Silverton. Both are small towns but they are served by the Durango and Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad, a heritage railway running steam powered trains. The train runs quite slow, slower than driving in fact, so it’s really meant for the train enthusiasts. We just want to see what the trains are like rather than riding them.
