Seasons of the Narrow Gauge: A Year in the Life of the Durango & Silverton - Softcover

A ride on the Durango & Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad is a journey through some of the most beautiful scenery in the American West. It is a trip back in time as well, back to the days when miners and entrepreneurs ventured into the mountains to make their fortunes. Though the mining boom has passed, the railroad endures. Riders board the train filled with a sense of adventure and excitement much like their predecessors first did 129 years ago. Many come back again and again, realizing that just as the seasons change in the San Juan Mountains, so do their experiences on the train. Every car and locomotive has its distinct personality. The sights and sounds along the way can be as different as a snowstormis from a sunny summer day. Join us as we explore the four seasons of the Narrow Gauge, both what keeps peoplecoming back and what makes it all possible.
