All aboard the Durango & Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad — one of America's most beloved and historic railways! With continuous rail operation spanning three centuries, Great Scenic Railway Journeys takes you on an unforgettable journey through some of the most pristine and breathtaking landscapes in Southwest Colorado. As you ride vintage cars pulled by an authentic steam locomotive indigenous to the line, you can almost hear the voices of the men who labored to lay these tracks through the harsh winter of 1881–1882.
This Emmy-nominated public television documentary traces the railroad's remarkable story — from its conception, through its near abandonment, to its rise as one of the most treasured tourist railroads in the world. Along the way, we introduce you to the dedicated men and women who work tirelessly to keep this historic equipment running today.
We also take you inside the Durango & Silverton train museum, housed in eight stalls of the historic 17-stall roundhouse. This 12,000-square-foot museum is home to thousands of authentic railroad artifacts, along with a stunning collection of locomotives and rolling stock.
As a special bonus, we have included the original Tracks Through Time, hosted by the legendary Dennis Weaver.
