The Conductor [Contest Finalists October 2008]
Uploaded: October 13, 2008 05:07:57
The Durango & Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad has been in continuous operation for over 125 years, carrying passengers behind vintage steam locomotives. By luck, we were in Silverton when the train arrived. BP member Mike Clime took a photo of this same train about an hour earlier, just prior to its arrival in Silverton.
