The carriage we were in had a great dedicated hostess, free drinks all day (got back at 7 pm), freebies and wonderful views. Fantastic old steam engine and great sunny day. Two days later it was raining and cold with mountains in the clouds. Phew!

STEAMING IN COLORADO
Our American fellow travellers had organised a day trip on the Durango & Silverton railway in south west Colorado, to coincide with the fall colours of the aspen trees. They came down from Park City, near Salt Lake city, the day before, and we had a very early start to get our seats by 8.15 am. Here we all are - Sue, Cousin Allan, Roy (their friend and now ours too. Missing is Kalani, Roy's dog, who we had to leave behind in the house for a very long day. Piccies to come)

Brilliant day out, with lunch stop in Silverton, an old mining town now dependent on three trainloads a day spending some money in their shops and cafes.
