Summer Train Season: open daily 11:00a.m. until last train leaves Silverton
Closed November – early May (until train returns service to Silverton).
Just a few blocks from downtown Silverton, you’ll find a treasure at the Silverton Depot on the corner of 10th and Cement Street. Built in 1882 as a ‘temporary’ structure, the Silverton depot proudly stands to this day as a testament to the strength and tenacity that is fitting for the town and people of Silverton.
Stroll through the depot to see the waiting room, the ticket office, the coal room and coal dock. Outside you’ll see track and old rolling stock. Locomotive 493, built in 1902, is a K-36 class steam engine which is a larger engine than is needed on the D&SNGRR line. It stands in the yard, forlorn but not forgotten.

We are fully open for operations and our 2022 summer season is off to a wonderful and robust start. We experienced a brief pause in railroad operations over three days while we worked through communications with the Forest Service on our operating status while observing agreed upon fire precautions. Concurrently, we were able to rebook passengers to adjacent days when train excursions were operating.
We are now operating daily and our train schedule is in fact expanding as we move deeper into the summer season.
Please know that if we experience any interruptions in service due to future fire precaution levels, we will reach out to all of our guests in a most timely manner to offer information and alternatives.
Thank you”
