Today is the day for the big train ride.   We were up early, which wasn’t easy due to a stomach problem I once in a while suffer from.  Out to breakfast by 7 a.m. and on the bus into downtown for the railroad station by shortly after 8.    Durango has a pretty nice publi…

Trains have been a love for my husband for many years, so it was an almost “must do” to visit Durango, Colorado and ride the narrow gauge railroad up to Silverton.  This is one the most famous historic trains in all of the United States and it gets more media coverage and write-ups and fil…

I almost fell out of the train today.  I had to squeeze my head through the window so they could take my picture and then I couldn't get it back through the window.  We squeezed and pushed and I tried even rubbing soap all over my head which I hate, cause it gets me all smelly and yucky, …

Summer riding the Great train in the mountains.

We stayed overnight in Durango, and on Saturday morning we set out for Telluride. Colorado is a very photogenic state and we certainly took advantage of that fact.Thank goodness for digital cameras!!!

Then, we started going up, t…

Vandaag weer een reisdag. De reis had eigenlijk naar de hoofdreden om de vakantie in deze regio te plannen, de Ghost Town Animas Forks, moeten gaan. Maar helaas bleken er al zoveel bergpassen dicht te zijn dat we een gigantische omrit moesten maken. Maar ik loop op de zaken vooruit. Na weer een ko…

Friday, July 19, 1996     Today, only our second of four days was supposed to be the highlight of our trip. And, it was. We would be taking the famous (at least here in Colorado) Durango and Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad. It is also known as “The Silverton”. CW McCall, a country …
