The Polar Express

For those of you who have experienced the Durango & Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad during your summer vacation to Durango, this may come as a surprise, but the train operates year round! (For those of you who haven’t, you’ll understand as soon as you take in those breathtaking views of the Animas River plunging deep below the canyon edge!) How on earth does that train make it through the San Juan Mountains covered in snow, you may ask?
