Description
The Durango and Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad (D&SNG) is a narrow gauge heritage railroad that operates 45 miles of 3 ft track between Durango and Silverton, in the US state of Colorado. The railway is a federally designated National Historic Landmark and is also designated by the American Society of Civil Engineers as a Historic Civil Engineering Landmark.
The route was originally built between 1881 and 1882, by the Denver and Rio Grande Railway, in order to carry supplies and people to and silver and gold ore from mines in the San Juan Mountains. The line was an extension of the D&RG narrow gauge from Antonito, Colorado to Durango. The last train to operate into Durango from the east was on December 6, 1968. The States of New Mexico and Colorado purchased 64 miles of the line between Antonito and Chama, New Mexico in 1970 and operates today as the Cumbres and Toltec Scenic Railroad. The trackage between Chama and Durango was abandoned and rails were removed by 1971.

I was wondering when I saw this image how you captured it. At first, I thought you might have spent at least one night in the outback. However, after reading your association with the railroad I bet you rode the next train in the opposite direction back to Durango. I'll tell you this as a long time railfan, there are no other photographs from this exact position as they require most photogs to sacrifice a night in the woods to get such a shot. This is the creme de la creme. I mean that. I may buy it. Narrow gauge awesomeness.

This is a very special train to me. I grew up riding this train every summer. My cousin and I would ride from Durango to Silverton...we thought we were pretty grown up. Her dad (my uncle) was the vice-president of the Durango-Silverton Narrow Gauge Train, therefore....we had special privileges!!!!! As a kid, that was pretty darn cool!!!!
