Durango & Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad 2024 Opening Weekend

May 3 and 4 2024 was the transition between Winter Cascade trains and Summer season Silverton trains. Watch operations from both days, including diesel switch moves and the fire patrol speeders. D&RGW 493 and D&RGW 476 are the steam power.

Union Pacific paints theirs armor yellow, not gold. The two colors are very different.
