The Durango and Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad (D&SNG) is a narrow gauge heritage railroad that operates 45 miles between Durango and Silverton in Colorado.

The route was originally built between 1881 and 1882, by the Denver and Rio Grande Railway, in order to carry supplies and people to and silver and gold ore from mines in the San Juan Mountains.

The line from Durango to Silverton has run continuously since 1881, although it is now a tourist line hauling passengers, and is one of the few places in the U.S. which has seen continuous use of steam locomotives.
