The Ghost Train at Ely has a really fun ride, but the real treat for kids of all ages is that the working yard is open to visitors. If you stop in at the visitor center, they will give you a yard map, warn you about the moving equipment and then turn you loose to wander across the tracks! The other train ride can be boarded at either Durango or Silverton and both cities aren't that far a detour! Here is another story about the summertime runs of the railroad.
