- Опубликовано: 28 авг 2024
- The Durango Silverton Steam Train is known by many as the most scenic stream train in America. I've never been on a historic steam train ride and thanks to my good friend @DownieLive I was able to cross this off my bucket list. The Durango Silverton train is 141 years old and it is a 3 ft narrow-gauge heritage railroad that operates on 45.2 mi of track between Durango and Silverton, in the U.S. state of Colorado.
Have you rode this train before?

This was an epic train ride exploring the Southwestern corner of Denver! What was your favorite part of this video?
The open car
do u mean colorado?
Yep 😂😂😂
"Should I touch the rock...I gonna touch the rock." 🤣🤣
I wish you'd have gone all the way to Silverton, but that is a very long day.
I love reliving these train journeys with your videos, Will! 🎉
I know, I know!
Downie, I watch a lot of your videos and it's very nice to watch another point of view on the trains. I love trains + there's a train muesem near me that I go to and film trains. The muesem also has a model train railroad that I like very much.
Born & raised in Durango. Train ride up to Silverton NEVER gets old. Glad ya'll enjoyed!
You got that right!
I rode this train as a child. Even though I was young, I remember being totally enamored with it. 100% in love!
I felt like a child riding it! Couldn’t stop smiling.
@@WillEdmond your excitement is contagious. I really enjoy your videos!
Thank you so much means a lot really!
My favorite part was when you sang "She'll be comin' around the mountain". So glad you had a great time! You make me smile. Love to you, my friend. 🥰
Thank you my friend! Glad we are friends and connected. 😍😍😍
My favorite part of this video is the PURE JOY that radiates from the screen while you're on this adventure! I ❤️old timey/ historical trains.
Awhh Lisa done make me blush like that. 😂😍
you 2 together make everything so fun
Thanks for supporting us both!
Growing up in the big city I appreciate the locations of small-town America
Yes, I love small town America. So much peace here and I recently just left the big city life. Thanks for always showing up Tony.
Travel as an adventure, instead of just a trip. Classic!
Glad you enjoyed this trip Brian!
I was born and raised in Durango, 5th generation. I wish I would have known you two were here. I would love to have shown you around! I worked for the train for a few years. It's a beautiful ride. If you two ever come back this way. I'll be your tour guide! 😉🚂
Thanks Heather!
@@WillEdmond anytime hun!
This is Great! Thank you, Will, for singing “She’ll be coming ‘round the corner when she comes!” When I watched Mike’s video, I imagined the old western cartoons with a villain and a woman strapped down on top of the train and cowboy 🤠 coming the rescue!!! 🚂
Glad you enjoyed the journey and the singing.
I feel like you: I never want nice train journeys to end! It’s always good to see your adventures, Plant Daddy!
I could live on a train and not get off!!
This dudes energy is off the chart. I love it!
This was cool...Train Bros....I like that🙂
Glad you enjoyed this one!
I love the Durango Silverton route I have rode it the first time when I was fifteen a second when I was in my 30s and again in my late 50s. I plan to ride it again. Always in an outdoor car. In my 30s I recorded the entire ride on VHS which was converted to digital. I still watch it occasionally.
Wow, Kim that’s amazing! This won’t be my last ride on the Durango Silverton. I would love to see that footage that’s so cool!! I appreciate you watching and supporting Mike and I.
Every time you two hang out, it makes me want to grab a friend and hop a train too. Thank you for doing these collabs.
That’s what it’s all about traveling and making memories. Thanks for joining us on this ride!
I'm from Durango. The train goes all the way to Silverton, and I think it's worth going all the way. But it is a very long day. I recommend doing the train one way and the bus back. It shortens the day a bit and also gives completely different views, each way. When in Silverton, go to The Coffee Bear, have a peanut butter bar, and think of me. When in Durango, come say hi to me at Carver Brewing Co (I serve lunch Friday and Sunday) or College Drive Cafe (I serve breakfast Thursday and Saturday). And hey, feel free to bring me a peanut butter bar from Silverton!
Next time I am there!
I love watching the matching DownieLive vids alongside these. Will's smile is so contagious! Looks like a perfect trip, cant wait for grand canyon video
So glad to have you here with us!
Will! It's great to see you living through the train bucket list! Keep up the great work! 👏🏾👏🏾
Thanks for watching!
Will every moment on this trip was awesome. Great POV on the train as you hang off the side.
Glad you enjoyed it
I've watched you for a while on Downie's channel and liked you so much, I decided to come watch YOUR channel. I should've known you were from Texas...such a genuine, nice smile and so down to earth.
Being from Texas, I know not everyone is "down to earth"...we know the holier-than-thous types. lol However, when you find a good-hearted Texas, you've found a truly warm, kind, genuine person. Love that about you.
Awh that means a lot! Love Texas and my roots. Sending you love as well my fellow Texan!
I really enjoyed watching both experiences. So cool.
Thanks for watching!
Wait so Will is into living simply in a dome and he loves trains, I’m hooked. Love me some trains and living naturally.
Yes simple living and traveling at my own pace. I just be chilling! 😭♥️
This was so awesome!!! Thanks for taking us along! 🔥🔥
Glad you enjoyed it!
Wow! What an adventure.
Glad you loved it!
Favorite part is all of it, love the old trains and this train looks awesome- the experience of a steam train, stunning views and the decor of the cars. Can’t wait for the Grand Canyon train next!
Thank you very much!
Wow, that’s epic! Especially with the Powell 3 Chime that was 482, sounds like Nevada Northern 40’s whistle.
I can't wait to ride this train again.
your positive vibe is so addictive, i love these videos and watching you have fun :)
I appreciate you for watching! Means a lot.
So beautiful! Your passion for what you do comes through the screen!
Thanks for the love! I love trains and nature so much. This is where I belong! Thank you for coming along on the journey. ❤️
I love the joy and excitement in your voice. These videos are so much fun to watch, I really look forward to them! Really enjoying watching your journey!
Can’t get enough of trains and nature! Appreciate your support.
Hey!! We were the family from San Antonio that you ran into in Cascade Canyon. Great video, loved meeting you, lots of love from Texas!!!
so much fun to watch! your channel is insanely underrated
Glad you think so!
I can’t wait for you to come to Canada I know you would love it here
Was just there! Love it.
What a great trip! SO glad to see you do these fun outings with Mike Downie too.
Thanks for watching and joining us on this adventure!
Train Bros = Wonderful vids!
Thanks for watching JJ
Viewed many videos on this train ride and this is the first time I heard She Will Be Coming Around The Mountain on one of the videos. Good job! 😅
😭😭😭😭 did I get it right? That’s what popped into my head. Thanks for being here.
@@WillEdmond yep 😃
That's such a cool adventure! Loved both of your perspectives on the same trip, and I'm adding this train to my bucket list trips as well. Definitely earned a sub from me!
Glad you enjoyed it!! You definitely should hop on a train ASAP!

Hope you get on the rails soon.
Love watching you two when you guys hook up!! Both of you have different styles which is fun to watch!! Love steam trains :)
Thanks for the continued support and love!
We went this past March when there was still snow, and it was beyond gorgeous
I’m glad you had a great time.
I been watching several of your videos. I admire all your adventures and your personality, laugh and smile adds to the excitement. Also you are a great Videographer.
Train Bros...just came from downie....Had to see it from your perspective!
Hope you enjoyed it!!
Will you are cool as hell
Just spreading the good vibes fam!
Plant daddy adventures! les goo xD
Just finished Downie’s vid of the same trip. Y’all had so much FUN.
Yes it was! Thanks for watching.
Very cool
Thank you!
All the enclosed cars were built in 1881-1882. They have been modernized and updated periodically since then, but the base units are about what they were in the 1880s. The railroad has "8" steam engines, 1 was built in 1905 as a standard gauge engine and later converted to narrow gauge. 3 more were built in 1923 and 4 more were built in 1925. All the engines have been in continuous service since their build dates. There are 3 trains daily, the initial two go all the way to Silverton and back, and the 3rd one is shorter, designed for families with young children with a shorter attention span or for families that want a shorter train experience. The shorter-trip train, which Will Edmond and his friend are riding, does pass through some of the most scenic portions of the trip, the "High Line" and the Animas River Canyon, so everybody gets a good exposure to the SW Colorado mountains.
Thanks for sharing this knowledge.
That's where we live Will!!!!! I love hearing that train whistle each day!!! You coulda came to lunch!!! 🙂 You'll have to come back and do the full experience from Durango to Silverton!!!! Let us know and we'll do it with you!!!
That would be cool! I'd love to come back and hang with some locals. Let's stay in contact Chris.
@@WillEdmond awesome!!! Then in October they do the Great Pumpkin Patch Express train ride where they take you to a pumpkin patch and everyone gets to select a pumpkin!!! then in December they do the Polar Express and all the kiddos wear pajamas and Santa is on the train!!! Yeah you should just move here! LOL
Wow this video is absolutely awesome 👌🏽 thanks Will iam a new subscriber 👌🏽👏🏽
Hey Will! Love watching yours and Mike's channels on those wonderful steam locomotive trains. I have rode a couple myself. You two should come to NC and ride the Great Smokey Mountain Railroad in Bryson City to see the Smokies. A drive on the Blue Ridge Parkway is breathtaking! Then visit the Cherokee Reservation, Great Smokey Mountains National Park and Gatlinburg. They're all close to each other. You'd have a blast! 🤗
Always wanted to ride that Durango Silverton I was lucky enough to ride the Thomas the train here in connersville Indiana it's hometown
Hope you get to ride this one soon.
Man I'm jealous
Don’t be let’s get on a train!
Love your excitement and joy just riding a historical train! Something I gotta do eventually. Besides the steam train, what was your best part of the journey?
The best part was also seeing another part of Colorado that I haven’t seen before the terrain here is definitely different from the Denver area.
@@WillEdmond eh thats really neat. Nice to marvle new terrain for sure. Thanks for the video!
Look at Will, posting weekly now.
Trying to give y’all the good stuff! Thanks the support. 🔥
@@WillEdmond I'm always in Colorado. Thinking about moving back. You're giving me a bucket list.
I’d recommend the Strasburg Railroad in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. It is the longest continually running railroad in the United States I believe.
Have you done the Cumbres and Toltec? The train is 64 miles total distance and takes close to 7 hours to do by the way.
I haven't but I'll add it to my list.
@@WillEdmond You should it's great train ride.
Planning to take my grandson!
4500 gallons in 5 minutes? WOW What a pump! 900 gallons a minute!
I live in durango and love the train but the super loud horn gets so annoying after all these years
You live in a beautiful place! Love it out there. I can definitely understand the sound of that horn everyday.
Will it's me max
Hey cousin!!
Can you get an opportunity to ride the Georgetown loop railroad
I’ll have to check that one out!
What is the estimated return time?
Wrong, Cumbres and Toltec RR, is the most scenic in the United States, not Durango.
Okay, I'll have too see!
To reduce environmental pollution,Steam Loco should be replaced by Diesel Loco
I’m not the owner of the train.
