This breathtaking and jaw-dropping is one of the most fantastic train rides I've been on!
When I rode this in August, 2023, they ran two trains from Durango to Silverton about 20 minutes apart. The first train had one locomotive, 8 passenger cars, 1 snack car, and one box car. The second train has 2 locomotives, 13 passenger cars and, 1 snack car. Both trains back out of the station empty and turn around using a nearby wye and come back to the Silverton station ready to take everyone back down to Durango. The second locomotion from the longer train runs down the hill solo because its pulling power is no longer needed.
Seeing the "station" in Silverton was so unique because there is no platform or building. It is just a couple narrow gauge tracks in the middle of a dirt road, which end with no buffer stop!
Part two coming soon...

Love it. Nostalgic moment of the childhood.

I rode that route when I was four or five years old and I still remember it. (I'm 57 now.). I didn't have the greatest childhood, but that was definitely one of the good times. Thanks so much for sharing! With all the development that has occurred over the years, it's great to see the unmarred beauty of the route still the same.

That’s awesome! I remember riding the Georgetown Look as a child with my family and have great memories from that!

What a spectacular trip! I actually saved this place on my google map a while ago. The big curve, climbing the hill and breathtaking scenery are so attractive. Let alone the price of drinks in the snack bar, not surprisingly high.

accent = ascent? cool stuff!

Oops, I should have proofread more. I was more concerned with windy vs winding. I had windy and it didn’t look right so I changed it. I didn’t even look at accent, ascent. Shoot!
