All aboard! We're back! The Durango Blues Train is thrilled to announce that it will once again take the rails for a moving musical journey on August 24, 25 & 26, 2023. Join us for an exciting musical adventure aboard the historic Durango & Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad’s steam-powered train through the spectacular and breathtaking canyons of the San Juan National Forest.
