A visit to Durango isn't complete until you ride the Durango-Silverton Narrow Gauge rail road!  Spectacular views from the historic train.  Just sit back and enjoy.  For this shot, I went outside on the platform of the last car to get a shot along the whole length of the train.

On our trip on the Durango & Silverton train, we managed to get the last two seats in the first class dining car.  I was impressed with the intricate woodwork of the 1880's vintage coach, particularly the bar, with a view of the river out the window.
