Durango & Silverton Narrow Gauge Steam Locomotive #478

I spotted this video on You Tube this morning.

A popular tourist railroad that travels through mountain passes in the state of Colorado, is the Durango & Silverton narrow guage railroad.

I rode this railroad with My family, during a June 1981 motorcoach vacation to the states of Colorado and New Mexico.

This railroad operates on the former Denver & Rio Grande Western RailRoad 3 foot gauge Silverton branch, using former D & R,G W steam era equipment.
