Durango and Silverton Narrow Gauge 2-8-2 “Mikado” Engine No. 482, Durango, Colorado, July, 1992.
The clarity of this image is testimony to the 100mm f3.5 Kodak Ektar lens on my Kodak Medalist 2 1/4 x 3 1/4 roll film camera, a World War II vintage masterpiece instrument for its time.
This early morning photo at Durango is a typical scene throughout the summer months as this train with tourists prepares for departure to Silverton.
Narrow gauge railroads are three feet wide, while standard gauge is four feet eight and one half inches wide.
Narrow gauge railroads operated in rugged mountain terrain where the narrower track was easier to engineer across challenging geography.
This image is a high resolution digital scan of the original color negative.
