Durango Herald Article by Jonathan Romeo County & environment reporter
La Plata County is looking into whether the Durango & Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad violated any county codes after moving the bulk of its operations to the Rockwood station about 15 miles north of Durango.

Residents in the area have raised concerns about the D&SNG launching a majority of its trips out of Rockwood last summer in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, and all the traffic, trash and fire danger residents say came with it.

After plans were announced that D&SNG would be running three trains a day out of Rockwood again this summer, residents called for a meeting with the county and railroad representatives.
