Durango & Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad - Through the San Juans

Since 1881, the Silverton Branch of the Denver & Rio Grande Western has been a consistently active railroad. Originally built for Silver mining operations, the railroad evolved over the years into one of the most beloved tourist railroads in the world. While the rest of the D&RGW narrow gauge was abandoned and torn up in the 1960s and 70s, excluding what is now the Cumbres & Toltec Scenic Railroad, the Silverton Branch was booming with activity. Many Hollywood movies had been filmed on the Silverton Branch and that boosted its popularity with tourists visiting from around the world, despite the D&RGW's constant efforts to abandon it. Finally, in 1981, Charles Bradshaw purchased the branch line and as many locomotives as possible, rebranding the line as the Durango & Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad, and has been operating ever since. We visited the railroad twice during the 2023 summer season, with a mission to get as many shots, and the best shots possible of the double-headed powered steam trains to Silverton. With either K-28s #473, sporting a D&RGW 3 Chime, and #476, sporting a Southern Pacific 6 Chime, heading the train together or one of the K-28s with K-36 #482, sporting a Crosby 3 Chime, or K-37 #493, sporting a Texas & Pacific replica 3 Chime. The crews and locomotives put on a fantastic show making their way through the beautiful scenery of La Plata and San Juan counties. We would like to thank our friends ‪@PennsyPro‬ and ‪@RailFoxMedia‬ for visiting the railroad with us this year, along with members from ‪@AmericanSteamRailroad‬ who were also visiting the railroad. Without a doubt, we would like to thank all of the railroad employees who work hard every day to keep this amazing and historic railroad alive and well for generations to come. We hope you enjoy our production of the Durango & Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad!
