Colorado Travel Planning Guides : All Aboard

All Aboard the Durago Train

Let us extend to you the warmest welcome to Durango and the Durango and Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad

The D&SNGRR was constructed to haul silver & gold ore from the San Juan Mountains, but passengers soon realized it was the view that was truly precious. This historic train has been in continuous operation for 129 years, carrying passengers behind vintage steam locomotives and rolling stock indigenous to the line. Relive the sights and sounds of yesteryear for a spectacular journey on board the Durango & Silverton Narrow gauge Railroad.

You visit means that you have become part of the continuous living history of a true American Treasure, the D&SNGRR. You will experience today the same ride, the same views, and the same adventure that our passengers have done for more than 129 years.
