Durango & Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad Colorado | Historic Steam Train Cascade Canyon Express 4K

In this video we take the Cascade Canyon Express route on the historic Durango & Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad. The route begins in Durango, Colorado and heads north into San Juan National Forest along the Animas River, and riding on the edge of 1,000+ foot drop offs in the canyon. The train turns around up in Cascade Canyon and after a 1 hour lunch heads back down to Durango. For this trip we took one of the historic steam locomotives and restored coach from the late 1800's. Riding the Durango & Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad is an absolute must for anyone visiting Durango and is a one of a kind experience.

Thank you so much for this experience - I 'm 83 now & when I was a small kid in London we used to watch trains at the bottom of our garden go by on their way to Scotland - so many famous engines - this 'tooting' was often heard in my neighborhood ! It was the Great Northern Railway, and a shunting yard nearby where we watched the engines shunting the cargo vans on to their final trains - I spent many a day sitting on top of our shed to get a good look ! So these sounds are part of my childhood. It's so nice that they take care of the old stock & let people ride in the carriages nowadays. We have a local one also here in my now neighborhood in NJ - line goes up to Canada, the trains are not quite as old as this one, but still get plenty of local appreciation. Loved it !

Thank you for your wonderful video, it brings back great memories when my wife and I did this trip nearly 20 years ago. We were on a road trip arriving at Denver from the U.K., and were celebrating our retirement and my wife’s birthday. Wonderful memories, and we would love to do it again.

Thanks for making this video. I rode this train when I was 7 years old in 1979. Still just as beautiful scenery as it ever was.

A wonderful, very scenic summertime in the Rockies excursion. The colors of the river were stunning. Kudos for showing the surrounding area of Durango at the end. Thank you for sharing and happy trails!
