Just a WAG, Tom -

But maybe because, in spite of the numerous n-i-m-b-y's in Durango, people who own bars, hotels and restaurants there are happier if people who ride The Silverton spend as much time and money in Durango and as little of either in the train's namesake town as possible. (Except for the Grande Imperial, of course.)
