Durango Colorado USA - The Durango & Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad is cutting its number of daily trains during its summer peak season from four to three in response to soft demand.
 
The railroad is eliminating a 07:30 departure from Durango from 17 Jun 2008 to 8 Aug 2008 in response to soft demand.
 
Railroad spokeswoman Andrea Seid says that won't affect how many passengers the railroad can handle, since more cars can be added to the trains.
 
The railroad also will add a fourth train when needed to meet demand.
 
Seid says the economy and gas prices have affected all businesses this season.
 
But she says railroad officials believe travelers from Colorado and nearby states who decide to stay closer to home will still come to Durango.
