A fellow railfan photographing the steam train. Silverton Colorado USA. July 1981.

Durango & Silverton Narrow Guage Railroad. Silverton Colorado. July 1981.
I took this photograph in Silverton Colorado, during a July 1981 family motorcoach vacation I went on to the states of Colorado and New Mexico. No, that is not Me in the foreground, but rather a fellow railfan tourist photographing Durnago & Silverton Railroad steam locomotive # 481 and it's vintage train. This train has just arrived at the former mining town of Silverton Colorado. The Durango & Silverton Narrow Guage Railroad, is a wonderful steam powered tourist attraction. This railroad, with narrow guage tracks 3 feet apart, carries passengers between Durango and Silverton Colorado.
