The Railroad is a 3 ft ( mm) narrow gage heritage railroad that operates .2 miles (.7 km) of track between Durango and Silverton, in the state of Colorado. The railway is a federally designated the National Historic Landmark and is a designated by the American Society of Civil Engineers as the Historic Civil Engineering Landmark. This historic train has been in operation between Durango and Silverton since , carrying out vintage steam locomotives and rolling stock indigenous to the line. The line was constructed to haul and gold ore from Southwest Colorado’s San Juan Mountains, but realized the view was even more valuable. The railroad runs miles ( km) from the Durango yard to Silverton, crossing the Animas River five times throughout the trip. Once trains reach the Silverton and unload, the train is turned on the wye. One way scheduled train take 3½ hours to run the miles each way, with a 2¼ hour layover in Silverton. A narrow-gage railroad in the US is a railway with a track gage narrower than standard 1, mm (4 ft /2 in). Most-gage-steps are between mm (1 ft /8 in) and 1. mm (3 ft 6 in). Since gage-based approaches are built with tighter curves, smaller structure gauges, and lighter rails, they can be less costly to build, equip, and operate than standard-or broad-based criteria (particularly in mountainous or difficult terrain).
