Train

Durango & Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad

The Durango & Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad has been running since the 1880s, and today it’s one of the best ways for first-time visitors to take in Durango’s dramatic mountains, rivers, and canyons. Riding the historic steam train makes for a fun daytime activity during the wedding weekend, offering unforgettable views of the scenery that makes this area so special. Over time it evolved from a mining freight line into a living piece of history — today it still runs heritage steam and diesel trains, offering visitors a ride through the same rugged canyon landscapes that early prospectors, miners, and settlers once traversed.
