The Durango and Silverton Railroad, a historic 45-mile route in Colorado, offers more than just a scenic ride—it’s a journey through time. Originally a freight line serving the mining industry, it gradually transformed into a popular tourist attraction starting in the mid-20th century. Jeffrey Johnson, Vice President and General Manager of the Durango and Silverton Rail Company, and Martha Gowin, Marketing Manager, share the railroad’s rich history, its dedication to preserving vintage equipment, and the deep passion of the staff who bring the experience to life. With seasonal excursions, special events like the Polar Express, and breathtaking views, it’s a must-see adventure for history and nature lovers alike.
