"Great family adventure. Friendly staff and splendid sights. We will be back to take the Durango to Silverton trip. Don't forget to visit the museum at the end of the train ride. The model trains in there were really awesome to say the least. The creator payed attention to detail. We bought our tickets online. No waiting in line. We arrived, parked and walked right over to the train."
"We went on this not knowing what to expect and it was spectacular. Going in the depth of winter, we got up close and personal views of the mountains no one except crazy mountain climbers may ever get to see. As good as the pics on the website look, they really don't do it justice. Have included a few on here to try and give you a sense of the terrain you are looking for. Best part, you do it in old railroading comfort and style, as fancy as you like it with hot drinks and refreshments available. Would def recommend again"
"Durango train station has very old steam engine ride from Durango station. It’s total 100 miles train journey between two stations. You may get to see lots of scenic views during journey. Anytime is the best time to visit. In winters you will see lots of snow and frozen rivers. And spring you’ll see beautiful trees and greenery."
"This is a "bucket list" level activity for me and my family. My kids were happy and enjoyed it thoroughly. We did a polar express and cascade canyon trip week after Christmas (first time for the 2 younger ones). My kids smiles and compliments say all I need to hear. My oldest (son) is almost "to cool" to enjoy things like this, but he was very happy and just enjoying our time. My second oldest (my daughter) was happy and enjoyed things I didn't expect her to. The two younger boys were much easier to please, although the attention span is much shorter. This experience is a super reasonable cost for the return. I like to call this type of experience "organic" because nothing is manufactured it's just the same as when people first experienced a train ride 100 years ago. You can go on your first or 100th train ride and still be mesmerized. If in Durango or anywhere else, it's a sure thing."
"I have taken this train 4 times in my life and planned my honeymoon to include a ride. We chose fall to see the amazing fall colors from an absolutely incredible vantage point. I simply love this train, the town and entire area. I can not rave enough about what a magical place and experience this train and area are. The bus ride was enjoyable to due to the friendly, funny and informative driver. We had an amazing lunch in Silverton and made some new friends who also were taking the train back. It’s absolutely amazing!!! Just FYI. After our Honeymoon we brought her kids and Parents back at Thanksgiving to see the Polar Express! Highly Highly recommend this train any and all times of the year."
