Right again Earl.

On my most recent trip to Durango, I poked around in the museum, and found 60's/70's rubber stamps from the ticket office that said

"Boarding at 7:45, you must be on board by 8:15" (first train)

Any empty seats at 8:15 were sold, departure was 8:30 sharp, arrival at Silverton 12:01.

Second train was one hour later.

Just as you said, 3 1/2 hours.

I believe the D&S 8:15 train arrives Silverton at 11:45.
