Colorado Eastern - Background
Our trip to the Durango & Silverton in August 2000 was a lot of fun for the entire family. If you have not been to Colorado to experience this narrow gauge marvel for yourself, make your plans ASAP, because it's a definite must-see.

We sat in an open-sided passenger car on the way to Silverton, and although it was a little cold there were fantastic views that more than made up for the cinders and smoke in our eyes!

I took these pictures with regular 35mm film and a cheap instamatic, then I scanned them for web publishing.
