Last Ride of the Season: October 26th
Due to significant recent weather events, The Durango & Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad had a slide at milepost 486.0 just north of Needleton which resulted in the tracks being covered with rock and debris, making train passage to Silverton impossible. Due to this, we have had an interruption of service to Silverton and both Silverton trains have been rerouted to Cascade Canyon for tomorrow, July 3rd. resume service to Silverton on July 4th and will be communicating with guests if there is any change. Our maintenance of way crews are actively working to clear the slide and to restore the tracks.
We look forward to restoring full Silverton service on July3 3rd.
We think so, but we’re also a little biased. We’re incredibly thankful to be nominated as one of the “Top 10 Scenic Train Ride in North America” by USA Today! From today until May 13th, you can vote for your all-time favorite scenic train. Do you think we deserve this honorable merit? Then click the link below and vote for the Durango Train! Throughout the duration of the voting period, fans may cast a single vote each day leading up to its conclusion.

We are now operating daily and our train schedule has in fact expanded as we’ve moved deeper into the summer season.
We experienced a brief pause in railroad operations recently 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.
All trains scheduled for Thursday, June 16 and beyond are operating as scheduled at this time.
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”
