Last train to Silverton is today, Saturday, Nov. 1. Thanks to everyone for another great year. I'll be open for a few days before Christmas and on weekends if something is going on in town. Other than that, not much. See you next spring.

I may have been premature in cancelling the rest of the train season. Article in today's Durango Herald states train could return to Silverton next week. Stay tuned.

Looks like our train season has come to an early end. Last train was supposed to be on Nov. 1, but heavy rains the past 4-5 days and nights have washed out the ballast under the rails in several places thus preventing the train from reaching Silverton. It will still run half way to Cascade Canyon, but will turn around there. Despite the lack of a train in town I will be open several hours a day around noon until the end of October. Stop by and say hi.

People ask me, how's business, Bob? Here's my answer. Consumers are not consuming. My sales at the Train Store are down considerably from last year. Even so, I've had to raise some prices in order to cover tariff fees from my wholesalers. This is what Dr. Burton G. Malkiel, professor of economics emeritus at Princeton University and chief investment officer at Wealthfront says about this situation.
"Tariffs lead to higher prices unless they are totally absorbed by businesses, effectively shrinking their profit margins. Tariffs also act as a tax on consumers, causing them to spend less on goods and services. Thus, tariffs worsen inflation while simultaneously suppressing economic activity."
