Over the years, Railfest attendance has only remained steady at best. The D&S has expanded the target audience to include patrons interested in the lifestyle of the west in addition to the original focus of celebrating railroading in Durango. With this dual focus, more people will attend the various events and support the railroad, the town, and Railfest.
When the Eureka is ready to return to run on the Durango rails, she will be welcomed! When the 315 is ready to run the Durango rails again, she will be welcomed!
And you, Ted, will be welcomed THIS year! For the railfans like you, in addition to Goose 5 excursions every day, we'll have the new Work Train Photo Special, the signature Presidential Special, and a double header. There is a possibility of additional railroading presentations, details being worked out still.
