This is what the email from the Durango & Silverton stated about the additional train:

D&S email
Over the years, we’ve received hundreds of requests for a short, summer train ride—a ride that’s perfect for families with small children, late risers or those with limited time to spare. And for the first time ever, we’re offering such a train: the Cascade Canyon Express. Our new summer train has all your favorite views in just 2 hours. This diesel train does not have a layover at Cascade Canyon or a concession car, so our shortest excursion is also one of our most affordable options.
If you’re more of a traditionalist or are looking for an all-day adventure, we recommend our Silverton excursion. Our most popular ride takes you on a breathtaking, 3.5-hour journey to the historic mining town of Silverton. And don’t forget—our email subscribers have an exclusive discount* through the end of the month.
We'll see how this works.
