Review:
The town of Durango was founded in 1879 by the Denver & Rio Grande Railway, so it comes as no surprise that one of the attractions visitors should go to when in Durango is the Durango and Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad and Museum.
The railroad and museum operates out of the original 1882 depot, from which visitors can go on a breathtakingly scenic ride through Colorado's San Juan Mountains on a vintage steam locomotive.
The view is so good that the Society of American Travel Writers once voted the experience "One of the World's Top Ten Most Exciting Train Rides."
Relive Durango's history on the train - and off - at the artifact-filled museum at the depot.
