A coal-fired steam locomotive pulls Durango & Silverton cars around a sunny mountain curve, with black and white smoke streaming across the trees and a steel trestle bridge overhead. The scene shows the train hugging a narrow ledge beside brushy slopes and pine-covered hills.

Durango & Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad - Highline

The Durango & Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad follows a spectacular route along the Animas River through a roadless canyon carved into the San Juan Mountains. The Highline section clings to a narrow ledge hundreds of feet above the river and is among the most dramatic railroad passages in North America. The coal-fired steam locomotives have operated continuously since 1882.
