Animas River Over Tracks At Needleton


Weeks of tropical moisture rolled up into southwestern Colorado earlier this month, causing flooding of the San Juan River in Pagosa Springs and the Animas River along the Durango & Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad, severing the line temporarily at Needleton. The railroad ran trains as far as Cascade Canyon for a few days until the line could be restored, resuming full service to Silverton today hopefully to finish the 2025 summer season.⚒
