DURANGO, Colo. — The Durango & Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad has made quick work of its latest slide disruption.
The heritage railroad said on its Facebook page that it has resumed service to Silverton today (Wednesday, July 3) after Tuesday trains to Silverton were halted by a Monday night slide at milepost 486.0, near Needleton. That slide came after what the railroad called “significant weather events over the last 24 hours.”
The brief interruption followed a more extensive slide at milepost 485.9 that shut down Silverton service from June 22-27 [see “Durango & Silverton restores full operations,” Trains News Wire, June 28, 2024].
