Denver and Rio Grande Steam Train 315 - Durango and Silverton

Denver and Rio Grande Western steam locomotive number 315 is a C-18 class locomotive built in 1895 by the Baldwin Locomotive works. It was purchased new by the Florence and Cripple Creek Railroad but was later sold to the DRGW (then DRG) in 1917. It received its current number in the 1920's when the Denver and Rio Grande was reorganized. During its career on the DRGW, 315 ran throughout the Narrow Gauge system. It spent its final days on the DRGW roster in Durango, CO as a yard switcher. 315 was loaned and later donated to the Durango Chamber of Commerce for static display following its retirement in 1949. The 315 was also a "movie star" of the rails, being used in the movie Colorado Territory (1949) and Around the World in 80 Days (1956).
Today, DRGW 315 has been fully restored to its former glory after a 7 year restoration by the Durango Railroad Historical Society (DRHS) and makes occasional trips for the public on the Durango and Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad and the Cumbres and Toltec Scenic Railroad. Come along as we follow the locomotive from Durango to Silverton and return on a few special trips that were made in 2010 and 2013 on the Durango and Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad. Scenes from on the ground and on the train are included.

Enjoy the sights and sounds of this classic Colorado narrow gauge steam locomotive!
