This is the region's essential attraction. Embark on the historic train that transports Durango passengers to Silverton since 1882. From the inside, like from the outside, the train didn't take a ride. Behind its long black locomotive, a stonewalling of yellow cars awaits you in a period decor. Sit comfortably and enjoy the view. The mythical journey between Durango and Silverton will make you cross the picturesque and picturesque national forest of San Juan, the peaks cut in bottom. You will need a day for the excursion. The return journey lasts 7 hours and it takes 2 hours to visit the city of Silverton: the tour takes a total of 9 hours. But the unique experience is worth it.

Durango and Silverton Train Museum. Take a little time to visit the incredible free museum, which has been installed since 1998 in the station. It is the history of the railway that you will discover, but also that of the city. And among the major pieces of the exhibition, two locomotives, a tank car and a sleeping car, and so many more.

Installé dans les dépendances de la gare ce musée est intéressant car il montre en même temps des objets courants et des voitures, locomotives et wagons remis en état avec soins de la période de la rué vers l'or. Les panneaux d'explication sont instructifs et nombreux. Afin de bien comprendre l'aménagement de cette ville historique, la visite du musée est incontournable à Durango.
