Description

Original Fine Art Photography by Donna Kennedy..

I can finally check the Durango-Silverton Train ride off of my bucket list, I booked the Fall Photographers Special, it was such a beautiful scenic ride through the San Juan Mountains along the rushing Animas River. In this photo the train is coming around the High Line bend, and when the engineer did a side blowout of steam, it created a colorful rainbow..

Durango, Colorado was founded by the Denver & Rio Grande Railway in 1879. The railroad arrived in Durango on August 5, 1881 and construction on the line to Silverton began in the fall of the same year. By July of 1882, the tracks to Silverton were completed, and the train began hauling both freight and passengers. The line was constructed to haul silver & gold ore from Southwest Colorado's San Juan Mountains, but passengers soon realized it was the view that was truly precious. This historic train has been in continuous operation between Durango and Silverton since 1882, carrying passengers behind vintage steam locomotives and rolling stock indigenous to the line. It is a family-friendly ride sure to create memories that will last a lifetime while offering a view of Colorado's mountain splendor inaccessible by highway. Relive the sights and sounds of yesteryear for a spectacular journey on board the Durango & Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad.
