DURANGO, Colo.—The Durango & Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad says it will plant more than 2,500 trees in southwest Colorado this year to offset carbon pollution from its coal-fired steam locomotives.
The historic excursion train is working with Durango-based CarbonZero, a company that analyzes carbon emissions and comes up with plans to offset them.
The railroad says it burns six tons of coal for each 90-mile round-trip from Durango to Silverton and back.
Last year the railroad carried a total of 193,000 passengers on its regularly scheduled trips and special events.
