The Durango & Silverton’s recently rebuilt and converted to burn oil K37 #493 pulled the first Logging Train 4/21/2020. I “Chase and Pace” this train from the Durango yard to Hermosa. This was the first of many logging trains to follow as the railroad begins fire mitigation along the right of way. The railroad has entered into an agreement with a logging company to mitigate the fire danger along the right of way north of Rockwood. The logging company will cut and load the logs on the train along the tracks and unload the logs onto trucks at Rockwood. The D&S will make 1 trip a day, 5 days a week from Rockwood. The plan as I understand is to leave the locomotive at Rockwood during the week and run it to Durango on weekends for maintenance.
This first logging train left Durango at approximately 8:40am. The train consisted of K37 #493, 1 Water Car #0470, 9 flat cars. 3 drop bottom gons and Caboose #0540.
