As many of you have heard, La Plata County, in which Durango sits, will move into Colorado’s most restrictive COVID-19 tier, Level Red, effective Friday, November 20. This mandate has been brought about to curb and control rises in cases that seen across our state as well as many others. The railroad has diligently consulted with our local health authority, and we are happy to report that our operating plan meets with approval for us to operate as planned. The Durango & Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad is continuing with its operations to both Cascade Canyon and also the beloved THE POLAR EXPRESS™ Train Ride beginning on Friday, Nov. 20th.
As always, the D&SNGRR remains fully committed to ensuring the health and well-being of its guests, employees, vendors, and business partners, and it fully supports all local, state and federal government health regulatory agencies overseeing COVID-19 restrictions and hygiene protocols. The company manages its Cascade Canyon excursions, special events, and all railroad facilities with strict adherence to rigorous safety practices and procedures, including high-frequency sanitation of commonly-touched surfaces; the required wearing of face masks/coverings at all times aboard the train and throughout all facilities; the strict implementation of social distancing in passenger coaches; and the operation of trains at limited passenger capacity to maximize employee and guest safety.
