Durango Silverton Train Day 8-30-16

Not really understanding all the engineering and physics involved in a steam engine train, from this girls perspective, it's simply a very sexy piece of ingenuity, a slice of Americana, a tribute to those who created it and those who keep it alive.
The train trip from Durango to Silverton and back again, is filled with amazing sites around every bend; deep canyons carved by the Animos river, spectacular mountain views, the sound of the train on the tracks, the chug of the engine and the music of the whistle. Pictures and video don't do it justice.
