Built originally as a mining line - and after surviving natural disasters, wars, and financial instability - a determined Durango & Silverton staff promoted the tourism that ensured the line's survival to this day. Recognized as a National Historic Landmark, the railroad continues to provide year-round tourist service in the mountains of Colorado.
