I took this photo in Silverton Colorado during a July 1981 family Motorbus vacation I had went on. The trip visited the states of Nebraska, Wyoming, Colorado and New Mexico. The Durango and Silverton Railroad itself was also new as an independent tourist railroad in 1981, as it was operated until very recently by the Denver & Rio Grande western Railroad.
3 foot narrow guage Baldwin 2-8-2 steam locomotive # 481 and it's train are viewed arriving in Silverton Colorado.

Very nice picture of 481! You can practically smell the coal smoke.
