  1. T.A.R.

    SEE A GREAT FILM ABOUT A LITTLE RAILROAD COMPANY BY THE NAME OF DURANGO/SILVERTON RAILROAD COVERED IN LOTS AND LOTS OF SNOW IN COLORADO. IN 2010 THE SAN JUAN MOUNTAINS WERE HIT A BAD SNOW STORM, AND MACHINE OF IRON WAS THERE TO SHOW YOU OW THEY HANDLED THIS STORM. AWESOME SCENERY AND 5 STARS AND 55 MINUTES LONG.

  2. Josh

    A great way to see how the D&S does there winter operations when snow is heavy.

  3. Chase

    A neat insight into the D&S winter operations when snow is heavy. One of the only places in the US where a narrow gauge flanger on a steam railroad can be required in the winter time to keep the trains running. Watch 473 battle through the snow with the flanger in this awesome video.
