DURANGO — The Durango & Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad is offering an annual pass for the first time. The pass costs $99 for adults and $49 for children for 2009.
The railroad line was built in 1882. Today, coal-fired, steam-operated locomotives run year-round. The pass is $20 less than what a passenger older than 12 would pay for one ride in the least-expensive summer seating.
Marketing manager Andrea Seid said the train can drop off people who live nearby to fly fish, hike, raft, camp or kayak. Pass holders can’t ride free on special-event trains, but they can get discounts. These include New Year’s Eve and Valentine’s Day. The Associated Press
