Durango Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad

The Durango and Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad is a 3 ft narrow-gauge heritage railroad that operates on 45.2 miles of track between Durango and Silverton, in the U.S. state of Colorado. The railway is a federally-designated National Historic Landmark and offers a unique, affordable, family-friendly travel experience that combines Colorado’s colorful pioneering and mining histories with unparalleled backcountry beauty.

The D&S Roundhouse Museum, located in the railyard, houses a carefully curated collection of artifacts and exhibits that paint a picture of Colorado’s rich railroading and mining histories
