HELLO! Welcome to "Travel with Suri". This railroad is one of the most famous
and picturesque heritage railway experiences in the US. The train departs from Durango
and leads you on your 26 mile journey through the San Juan national forest.
Sit back, relax and enjoy the breathtaking views along untouched land deep in the canyon.
Welcome to Durango and Silverton narrow gauge railroad.
Departing from Durango, this trip takes you
up into the Rocky mountain with views of San Juan national forest
as you travel alongside the beautiful Animas river while relaxing in heated coaches.
The first 15 miles were uneventful, but once you crosses the Rockwood station you will have
fun for sure. The views were absolutely breathtaking and take the open-air car,
the views were best without glass and wood. The views through the canyon were amazing with
lots of opportunities for photos. However some scary parts going around the cliffs with steep
drop-offs.
The Denver & Rio Grande railway constructed the 45 mile silverton branch in just 11 months
using mostly hand labor to serve the gold and silver mines in the area. In 1981, the railroad
sold the Silverton branch which became today's Durango and Silverton narrow Gauge Railroad.
If you are looking for an unforgettable train adventure with incredible geological features and
fantastic scenery that is downright jaw dropping, look no further than these steam train excursions
departing from Durango, traveling deep into the wilderness unaccessible by any roads.
The cascade canyon is a destination like no other and is a perfect setting for a fireside lunch,
photo opportunities or a walk along the animas river to the footbridge on your 45 minutes
layover. The cascade canyon winter train operates from November 20 to Jan 3. Visiting Durango would
not be complete without taking this scenic train ride to cascade canyon by steam locomotive.
Total trip is around 52 miles and takes about 5 hours. The standard coach cost
you $74 and first-class coach is $124. What a fantastic journey! what a magical experience!
If you are in Durango, Colorado this should be on your bucket list for sure.
