Great American experience, that old train ride up the Animas river to Silverton

Rode it last summer. Way cool. Tracks hanging off cliffs . Did not know that this was the train Butch and Sundance “blew up”

Indeed it is. I would love to do that again.

All the families I know who’ve taken it have found it a precious experience. Of course, they have taken children the ages prone to be in awe of such an experience.

IIRC, the train doesn’t go more than half-way to Silverton during the winter snow season.

However, with lights, music and snow . . . it is reportedly a ‘magical’ experience.
