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.⚒
