Durango & Silverton railroad and operator sued for $25m by US Government after fire

摘要

THE US Government is suing one of the country's top steam-operated railways for $25million, claiming a spark from a coal-fired locomotive started one of the worst wildfires seen in 2018. Last month, the US Attorney's Office in Denver began legal action against the Durango & Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad (D&S) and its operator, American Heritage Railways Inc, on behalf of the US Forest Service.
