Description

Around 1881 Durango Colorado was a very important place. Gold and Silver were discovered up the Animas River near Silverton Colorado. The San Juan MOuntains were attracting prospectors rapidly and they all needed a way to get from Durango to Silverton and carry all their equipment for prospecting. The Durango And Silverton Narrow gauge railroad was born, it had to traverse the Animas River edge for about 50 miles it was a beautiful ,but very dangerous ride along the rock cliffs and fast mountain river water.
