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 26 & 27, 2022. 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. The Blues Train features six live blues performances inside the train coaches with a festive musical environment. Each artist performs in their own vintage coach, while passengers are free to dance their way from coach to coach. Four coaches have seats while two are open with no seats for dancing. Enjoy an evening on the rails with some of Colorado's best craft beer, cider and wine along with spectacular scenery.

COVID-19 Travel Updates And Information
The Durango & Silverton Narrow Gauge Train is governed by the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) which currently requires that masks be worn within the Train Depot, in the Train Museum and onboard the Durango Blues Train enclosed coaches when windows are not opened, regardless of our attendees’ vaccination status. Masks will not be required when riding in the open train gondola cars, however, masks will still be required when visiting the restrooms, and also when passing through closed cars at any time.
If the pandemic situation continues to improve as the 2022 summer progresses, it is possible that the TSA could lift their current restrictions. We will continue monitoring the situation and communicate any changes in a timely manner.
Please make note of these restrictions and keep in mind that refunds will not be granted as a result of any subsequent changes to the current policies unless the event is forced to cancel altogether.
