All aboard! We have spent a few weeks in Durango, which is an awesome town with lots of history, beautiful scenery, and outdoor activities. But a huge part of Durango and its history is the railroad. We spent 5 hours riding the Durango & Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad (Cascade Canyon Express tour), which was such a blast, and then finished with some of the best ice cream we’ve had in a long time in downtown Durango! 🚂

    It’s been over 40 years since the last time I’ve been on that Durango to Silverton round trip. I’ll never forget it. My mother and I had a great two week trip. We buried my grandfathers ashes in a family plot in Ouray, he grew up there from 1905-1919. Looking forward to going back soon, after retirement.

    My husband was their mechanical engineer as well as a machinist for many years. Unfortunately, he passed earlier this year but my son and I are taking a Memorial ride in September to honor him. I love that train and all the Harpers have done for our community.

    Thanks for visiting! Come back anytime you want!
  • First; I cannot believe that every state you visit, the tourism boards have not contacted you for a sponsorship! You two produce the most professional videos! Drone shots outstanding too! Second is how you successfully film, edit, research while holding full time jobs! Keep up the energy! Amazing work! ~Cara 😊

    Silverton Train from CW McCall was a favorite of mine when I was a kid. I was very shocked and excited to learn the train actually exists.
  • @CactusAtlas
    The Grand Canyon Railway was one of our favorite trips and I feel started a mission to ride more of these historic railways. THIS one is definitely going on the list. Those gondolas look super interesting! To be able to sit and smell nature as you go by... and the view on to of it...? Amazing!

  • Thanks for sharing! Will plan a trip this year for sure.
  • I’m so excited about this video and that you both got to do this! This is a bucket list item for me, something I’m currently crushing on and I have the model train in my train collection. 🥰 Thanks for taking me along for the ride!

    Rode the Durango Silverton 3 years ago. It is one of the few things the wife said she would do again in a heartbeat. Glad they enjoyed it because we thought it was amazing.
  • @tomduley6357
    My husband and I took my dad on the train in 2019. We had so much fun! We loved it! This brought back happy memories. Your enthusiasm is contagious!

    What a well made production of our Durango Train! You did an excellent job documenting this experience for others to enjoy. I've been on the train a dozen times this year alone and it's awesome to see it being put up on the big screen like this.
