Another objective is to create a railroad historical park in Silverton for the display and maintenance of the equipment. We have an easement with the Durango & Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad to build a pair of display tracks on their property between their depot and the Silverton Northern engine house. These tracks will hold twelve cars, so we are limited to three work cars.

For each railcar we create an interpretive sign about the history and significance of that car.
