kasterkit also super expensive. Best to take the first train into Silverton and the last train out. You might be able to do that but not 100% certain.

Why does my 19 year old female college friend Angelina Cardone from college who plays soccer and lacrosse know a lot about Finding Nemo, Toy Story and Deadpool, but not about The Great Scenic Railway Journeys, especially not this episode Durango and Silverton Narrow Guage Railroad?

That's right steam must stay on the tracks

Russel Mack They're converting one to burn #5 fuel oil- furnace oil to some folks- and having two custom-built diesel locomotives that resemble steam locos for use in the dry season if fire risks are severe. There are no plans to remove steam. To be honest, only about 1 of us out of 100 care at all about what kind of locomotive is pulling the train.

Jonah DiGiacomo I would love to come ride the Durango to Silverton Railroad. Let me ask, does one have to have tickets ahead or can one just show up and get tickets? Is there a certain day of the week that would be less busy and less crowded trains? My father told me that my Great Uncle Tom McCarty was a steam engineer way back then. Thanks, Tom

Jonah DiGiacomo great is it a fun ride I have not done it yet

Lamont DuPlessis No it was there when I rode it! They don't park the train at the depot anymore though, they are parked up the street. I can find out if the Silverton Depot is still there.

Anonymous Libertarian Mr. Harper has owned the line for over a decade, so he is not really a "new" owner anymore. He is about as firm as one can be in regard to preserving steam power on his line. He wants it to be so authentic that he has steadfastly focused on keeping all the locos coal-fired. He has had to placate the local residents by using diesel-hydraulic switchers and taking measures to minimize the fly ash from engines under steam overnight. Lately, his line has been the focus of a civil suit regarding the 416 fire that many say was started by coal cinders from one of the locomotives. He is taking further measures by converting one engine to burn furnace oil instead of coal, and adding two custom-built diesel locos made to resemble steam locos for use when fire danger is severe. Honestly, they could stick big turbodiesel engines in the tenders of all those old steamers and run them without steam and only the very few steam nuts like us would even notice. Most people are there for scenery the trip offers- not so much the historical experience. I would hate to see it happen, but I don't think ridership would suffer if they did away with steam. It might even improve, since lots of people don't like that noisy, dirty thing that I love pulling the train.

We already have them, they are called plugin electric vehicles.
