Rode 5/8/2018 with a first class ticket, last car. Sat on the right side going up and the views of the mountains and river were incredible. Trip is about 3--4 hours up to Silverton and you gain about 3000 feet in elevation. Our helper Brian was spot and and pointed out interesting things along the route. Took the bus back which is 2 hours less than the train back. Make it up to 11,000 feet on the bus with cliff side views.
