Durango and Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad
No hydroelectric energy is produced at the dam; water is channeled offsite to the Tacoma Hydro Generating Station via a open wooden flume, "one of only two wooden flumes still operating on hydro projects in the United States." The Tacoma powerhouse stands in the Animas River Canyon and is accessible only by the Durango and Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad.
