"While the D&SNGRR has won multiple, highly-prestigious awards over the years, this is one honor that has simply eluded us and slipped through our fingers time and time again," said Jeff Johnson, general manager of the Durango & Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad. "It's not that much fun to always be the bridesmaid, never the bride. That's not happening this year! This explains why we're heavily promoting this year's competition among our fans through multiple marketing channels, and imploring them, and their friends, colleagues, and family members, to vote for us. We hope these efforts will enable us to finally taste victory, and bring home the hardware to our ever-expanding trophy case!"
