Did You Know that Durango, Colorado boasts one of the world's top 10 Train Rides?
As a Realtor, I am especially proud of my town, Durango, Colorado, and I just want to quickly highlight one of the town's truly outstanding tourism opportunities as you may be planning your summer visit to our area.
One of the most popular attractions in the Four Corners is the Durango & Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad (D&SNG) coal-fired, steam-powered historic train ride from Durango to Silverton, Colorado. The train excursion travels north of Durango through the Weminuche Wilderness. Passengers are able to see some of the most remote and scenic mountain vistas anywhere in the world. Ranked No. 3 in the world and No. 1 in the United States by the Society of American Travel Writers in 2009, this historic, unique train experience is tops with visitors and locals alike.
The train depot at the south end of Main Avenue in downtown Durango is an attraction in its own right and boasts, among other displays, a museum housing full-size locomotives, a model railroad layout and other educational documents, photos and railroad art.
Numerous special events are scheduled throughout the year by D&SNG. One of the most popular with children are the visits by Thomas the Train. You can learn more about this and other unique Durango train experiences by visiting the D&SNG website at www.durangotrain.com or toll free 1-888-Train-07.
