This trip never disappoints. Beautiful scenes, coal fired steam engine and lots of fun. I will say the totally open air cars were more fun when I was a kid but now in my 70s I prefer the more comfortable inside seats. Be sure to check out the variety of train passenger cars as well as assorted amenities each offers. Have plenty of storage for pictures. And if you didn't care for the scenes on the way up, the train turns around in Silverton so you can watch the other side on the return.
