I have taken the ride from Durango to Silverton and back 40 years ago, when the line was still owned and operated by the D&RGW. This ride was the absolute highlight of my farewell sightseeing trip through most of the western states at the end of my year as an exchange student on Bainbridge Island, WA. This trip took me down the coast of Washington State and Oregon, following US Highway 101 all the way into Northern California, down to Nevada, through New Mexico, Colorado, Utah, Wyoming, Montana, Idaho and back to my "home for a year". Even after 40 years, I still remember each day  of it. What an adventure for a barely 18 year old with a driver´s license still wet from the printing! Grand Canyon, Yellowstone, the lights of Reno and Las Vegas and then - Durango to Silverton - breathtaking! Do you folks know in how beautiful a country you live?
