Photograph a living piece of Americana: steam and diesel locomotives threading narrow-gauge track through the San Juan Mountains and along the Animas River. Capture dramatic trestles, canyon walls, river reflections and historic stations. Best light is golden hour and blue hour; autumn brings peak color. Board at 479 Main Ave (tickets required) or shoot from public vantage points and short trail accesses; downtown parking available but busy on summer weekends.
