Denver & Rio Grande Western 2-8-0 #315 returned to steam in August of 2007 after a 7-year restoration by the Durango Railroad Historical Society. Ten years later the DRHS commemorated the anniversary of that first steam-up with 3 days of special excursions on the Cumbres & Toltec Scenic Railroad. "A Decade in Steam" chronicles those 3 days in late August - plus a 2-day photo freight in early June - as #315 spent all of 2017 on the Cumbres & Toltec.
Prior to opening day, #315's tender was painted with the "flying" Rio Grande logo for the first time since being returned to operation, and it would remain that way for the rest of the year. This program starts with scenes from a photo charter organized by the Friends of the Cumbres & Toltec, a week after opening day. On Saturday June 3rd, #315 ran from Antonito to Cumbres Pass, performing a number of photo runby's along the way. The next day, the locomotive traveled back to Antonito with more photo stops en-route.
