To celebrate the 100th anniversary of the K-28 Locomotives, the Durango & Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad hosted a special excursion powered by both operational K-28's 473 & 476. DSNG 476 was cut in as a mid-train helper to recreate the look and operation of a Silverton bound train on the Denver & Rio Grande Western.

This video, (Part 1) features footage from the northbound run to Silverton starting at MP 468.75 'Granite Point' near Rockwood.

Part 2 features footage from the following day for the return trip from Silverton to Durango. On Day 2, the mid-train helper was split into two separate trains for the majority of the day until the concluding runby on the Highline.

Part 2 will be uploaded on December 30.
