I've ridden this several times. The first time was in the late 1960s when they still had tram and bus seats in some of the cars, and some cars still had potbelly stoves for heat. I was in about 1st or 2nd grade, and my folks made sure that i was wearing an elastic strap to hold my glasses on, since the frames were still of that glass-like substance that was heavy and kept trying to slide off of my face. Loved Silverton and the ride. Nice vid!!

people looking for profit think that diesel trains are a better option, what their never going to understand, is that, the only thing keeping their railway going, is the nostalgia for steam, you can see it hear it and smell it, lose the steam and your railway will fade away, ime an old coot now, but i still remember when i was a kid, traveling by steam, with pullman coaches, its a memory that sits just under the surface, then they upgraded and ruined, the whole damn thing, people didnt travel for pleasure anymore, it was all everyday work related, and miles and miles of track were lost, which now they wish they hadnt sold, because they now want to rebuild the line, when all a person can see is profit, they make bad judgment calls

Not too hot in summer. During winter, mountains do get covered i snow. Only difference that during winter train does not go all the way to Silverton. It stops halfway and then returns to Durango. I've done both rides, and both rides are beautiful, but I like to ride it during summer better because the ride is longer and you're not freezing if you decide to step out in one of those gondola-like wagons.

The train, however, has the options to either bring passengers back no extra charge, or to take a bus. The trip on the train to Silverton is about 3.5 hours, so going back and forth would a LONG time. As for the price, they have different packages. Check their website to see the one you prefer.
