Deep within the San Juan Mountains lies one of the most beloved railroads in the United States, the Durango & Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad. Since 1981, the Durango & Silverton has been hauling happy passengers from the prominent town of Durango, Colorado to the former mining hub at Silverton, Colorado. However, not all the trains go the entire 45 miles. The Cascade Canyon Express runs about halfway to Silverton to, you guessed it, Cascade Canyon. With beautiful scenery along the way, this is truly a must-do for anyone willing to enjoy the splendor of the San Juan Mountains. We spent four days on separate occasions at the Durango & Silverton, mainly focusing on the trains to Silverton, we still found some time to document the trains to Cascade, with either K-36 #482, sporting a Crosby 3 Chime, or K-37 #493, sporting a replica Texas & Pacific 3 chime, working hard up the steep grades of the Silverton Branch.
