My Second day of riding the D&SNG from Durango to Silverton and back

On Saturday, 7/7/12, I rode the 9:15 am train to Silverton and back. This time I rode the the parlor car Alamosa which was built in 1883. This gallery has some of the photographs which I took on that ride. It includes some different angles to photographs taken on 7/6/12.
