DURANGO, Colo. — Train service on the Durango & Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad will be limited through Friday after heavy rain flooded the tracks, causing a mud and rock slide that forced more than 500 passengers to return to Durango.
Railroad spokeswoman Andrea Seid said Wednesday that mud, rocks and trees covered the tracks south of Silverton during a storm Tuesday.
She said the mudslide prevented two of the four trains from reaching Durango on Tuesday and the trains had to back up to Silverton, where passengers boarded buses for the return trip to Durango. It used eight buses, including some borrowed from a rafting company, to bring passengers back to Durango.
