Independence Day Express Train
Independence Day Express Train
July 4, 2010
Celebrate America’s
birthday riding the Independence Day Express where you can enjoy the
afternoon festivities
in Silverton and stay for one of the largest fireworks display on the
Western Slope! After the fireworks are over, relax and enjoy a
rare late-night trip by train back to Durango! This train package
includes live
music and a barbeque under the tent next to the Silverton Depot.
There will be a 40x40 event tent set up near the Silverton Depot with
seating for up to 250 guests
inside and outside the tent area. The price of the ticket includes live
music from
4:30-9:30PM under the tent and a BBQ dinner by CJ’s Catering from
5pm-7:00pm. On the menu is BBQ
Sliced Brisket, Traditional Potato Salad, All-American Applesauce,
Homemade
Biscuits, Lemonade and bottled water. Three Porta-johns and a hand
washing station will
be
located near the tent. Each guest will
receive a wristband
to identify them as a train guest to give them access to the above
amenities.
If you would like to bring lawn chairs, please label them and we will transport them to and from Silverton in our box car for you.
If you are riding in the open Gondola or the Silver Vista, be prepared for a beautiful but COLD return trip! Packing a knit cap, gloves and jacket is recommended. We will have blankets on board for your use that night as well as D&SNG souvenir blankets for sale!
