Back in 2000, when I still lived in New Mexico, we rode both the Cumbres and Toltec in Chama, and the Durango railroad. They both used to be part of the same network. Durango was funny because there’s a McDonalds right next to the station, so if you go in to order breakfast, there might be a steam engine warming up about 50 feet from where you’re standing.
Here’s more steam, this time from Colorado in the snow, the Durango & Silverton Mine Train...
I rode this train as a side trip in the summer of 1974, when I was visiting the Mesa Verde National Park.
