D&RGW #493 Shakedown Run Animas R. Crossing 1/28/2020
I “Chase and Pace” the rebuilt D&RGW K37 #493 on its first “Shakedown Run” to Home Ranch about 6 miles north of Durango. The Rockwood turn was cut short when it developed a hot journal on the engineer’s side trailing truck. The engine and caboose #0540 were backed a short distance and turned on the Y at the Events Center. The 493 moved under its own power for the first time in 52 years 4 days before after the D&S employees performed a multi-year, multi-million dollar rebuild and conversion to burn oil. The conversion to burn oil will reduce the risk of starting fires during extremely dry condition. The 493 was originally built by Baldwin Locomotive Works in 1902 as standard gauge and converted to narrow gauge in 1928 by the D&RGW Burnham Shops. The locomotive was retired by the D&RGW in 1968, 52 years ago. It was purchased and moved to the Durango & Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad in 1981. It sat outside on display in Silverton for 20 years.
“Just Pacing” and the Full “Shakedown Run” to follow soon.

Scenic Wildlife Ride out of Durango, Co
A great ride heading out of Durango along the Anamus River. It seemed to be a favorite of locals, for good reason! We saw quite a bit of the local wildlife, only some of which I was able to get on film. The river was beautiful, as were some of the ranches along the way.
After a good climb, we came back down and took the local multi-use trail into downtown for some lunch.
This rife was 40.6 miles with a little over 1600 feet of climbing.

Durango and Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad, Colorado 7.5.2016
The route to Silverton aboard the Durango & Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad is an unforgettable journey along the spectacular Animas River. The Animas River is one of the last free-flowing rivers in the entire western United States. The route along the Animas, which begins high in the San Juan Mountains and ends in a confluence with the San Juan River in New Mexico, boasts some of Colorado's most striking canyon scenery.
Durango & Silverton Train: Heavy Snow Colorado 2-16-2010
Near Durango, Colorado operators of the historic Durango and Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad say the heavy snow has had both a positive and negative impact on business.
One conductor, who has worked on the train for the last two decades says, he's never seen this much snow in this part of Colorado.
Train operators have been using technology that is more than 100-years-old to clear all of the snow off the narrow-gauge track; it's called a flanger. It moves snow off and away from the tracks so trains can get through.
Officials say all the snow that has fallen so far has triggered avalanches that have shut down the rail line several times this season. The historic railroad runs through some of the most rugged terrain in the state and is a huge tourist attraction both in the winter and summer.
Resort operators in nearby Telluride say that mountain town has received about 170-inches of snow so far this season.
Some say the worst weather has yet to come as March and April are the snowiest months of the year for Colorado.
