Durango & Silverton Railroad


Recommended Posts

Took a trip to Durango this past week, happened to be during "railfest". They had a photo shoot of the Eureka Locomotive, that I managed to get in on. What I was most interested in however, was the roundhouse and machine shop which is normally restricted to employees. They machine EVERYTHING in house. I thought these pictures were pretty neat, all taken with a 6-13sec exposure (other than the daytime ones)

 

The Eureka Loco, beautiful engine, brought in from Las Vegas by truck. Professionally lit for a neat effect by the railroad.

My granddad would love these. After he left the Army Signals back in the 60's he became a "Locomotive Engineer" :P which, yer basicly ment he was a train driver. He's retired now but he's building a scale model steam engine (the type you can sit on).
