Durango and Silverton Oil Fired Steam Trains

The Durango and Silverton is one of the premiere tourist railroads in the United States. In 2019, the railroad began a project to convert all of its steam locomotives to burn oil as a fuel source rather than coal. In this video, we'll take a look at trains on the Durango and Silverton pulled by some of these converted oil fired steam locomotives.

I rode the D&S last year in celebration of my high school graduation. My train was pulled by the "Unlucky" 473 (in reference to its history of being in a string of unfortunate incidents) and 476. It was an unreal experience that I've never felt before or since. I hope i get to ride it with my grandfather in the near future. Regardless of what these engines are powered by, they do their job well and are beautiful machines of a bygone era

9:25 that’s me right there on the train! In the green jacket, black hat and making the gasping look on my face!

I rode the steam train on the 4th of July last summer. I don't even think the phrase "I loved it" can describe how I felt when we got off the train. I cannot emphasize this enough: YOU NEED TO RIDE THE DURANGO & SILVERTON RAILROAD AT SOME POINT IN YOUR LIFE.
