Heavy rain, flooding close tourist trains through Southwestern Colorado

Heavy Rain and Flooding Disrupt Tourist Trains in Southwestern Colorado

The Durango & Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad has been closed due to record precipitation in the area.

Railroad crews are working to reopen the popular attraction, which offers a five-hour scenic round trip through Cascade Canyon and a two-hour ride to Silverton.

The company announced the temporary closure on Facebook, citing the need for maintenance crews to clean up flooding and debris.

The train will continue to operate on a limited schedule, with the Cascade Canyon round-trip available in the coming days, and Silverton service expected to resume within the next few days.
