Along the river
Title:  Along the river
Description:  The DSNG runs on a former Rio Grande narrow gauge track built along the Animas River. Some parts of it are quite rugged, with deep canyons. There are a few places where the gorge is not so deep, and the river is a lot calmer. We roll along one of them here, with a good view from the train.
