This historic train has been in continuous operation between Durango and Silverton since 1882, carrying passengers behind historic steam and diesel locomotives and rolling stock indigenous to the line. It is a family-friendly ride sure to create memories that will last a lifetime while offering a view of Colorado’s mountain splendor inaccessible by highway. Relive the sights and sounds of yesteryear for a spectacular journey on board the Durango & Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad.
Somewhat a long day but something not to be missed, took the last carriage trip, top rate guide with a wealth of knowledge of the railroad. Highly recommended.BullitU_k的完整评论

We took the plunge and paid extra to sit at a table and it did not disappoint. We got more than we bargained for and didn't expect. Our car had its own guide and server. Tosh was great and knowledgea…Tammy K的完整评论

We planned a bit late, and therefore ended up taking the bus from Durango to Silverton instead of doing a round trip on the train. I was originally disappointed we couldn't get the train both ways, …RecreationV的完整评论
How’s the polar express ride? I can’t find any reviews from 2022 or 2023.

We visited in June. Can't help you with the Polar Express. We took the train out of Durango and back. The train moves slowly, so I think if we did this again we'd take the bus option back.
I am planning gorgeous a group of seniors. One woman asked if it's difficult to step up to enter the train. She gets around fine but says an extra step would help her.

When boarding the train in either Durango or Silverton, the train crew used portable passenger steps to help passengers get into the coaches. Note nearly all of these passenger cars are ~100 years old, so the steps up to the seating areas and the passageways inside the cars can be steep & narrow. That said, I saw that one of the cars on the train (a former "combine" coach; the ones where half the car is for baggage and the other half is regular coach seating) had a handicapped passenger lift elevator installed in the former baggage area. Depending on how much assistance your friends may need getting on & off the train, you might want to check with the railroad about getting seating in this handicapped-accessible combine.

I took the round trip from Durango to Silverton & back, so I got to see the train ride from both sides of the train. The ride crosses the Animas River multiple times, so both sides of the train get good views of the canyon and associated scenery in both directions. Depending on your interest in photography (and the amount of clouds the day of your trip), there also may be times when the sun is in your eyes or you travel really closely to the canyon wall (and don't see that much from that side of the train). Overall, I'd say the eastern side of the north - south journey are slightly more scenic. Particularly on the stretch of the railroad known as the Narrows and the Horseshoe Curve. The train goes slowly through the most scenic sections, and you'll have a chance to stand up and lean over to the other side of the train car in those sections if you want a good view & a picture.
