Colorado Railroad Museum

Colorado Railroad Museum

There's something amazing about trains. The familiar whistle has always promised adventure. The gentle rock of the rails has set the rhythm of our lives. Experience it again at the Colorado Railroad Museum with over 100 narrow and standard gauge steam and diesel locomotives, passenger cars, cabooses and G-scale garden railway on our 15-acre railyard.

Also, see our exhibit galleries, renowned library, roundhouse restoration facility and working turntable. Visit the General Store with thousands of train gifts for every rail fan. Group rates and programs available.

    They made a great contribution to railroad writing, photography and historical documentation. However, the railroad hobbyist publications, especially Trains Magazine, could never get over themselves to honestly admit the relationship between Beebe and Clegg.

    Buena Vista is properly pronounced “BEW-na Vista”. The town's name has been pronounced “BEW-na Vista” instead of the Spanish “BWAY-na Vista” ever since it was founded.

    You forgot to say that the bodies of Outfit cars have been excellent sources of restoration projects at Cumbres & Toltec Scenic and the Colorado RR Museums. TM CRRM Member

    It was facinating to learn that Denver Union Station had dual gauge track up into the 30s

    It is duel gauge but why 4 rails normal duel gauge has 3 rails it is because we can put are equipment in either end

  • @up3982trainmaster_challenger
    @up3982trainmaster_challengerАй бұрын

    The outside rails are stranded gauge and the inside rails are narrow gauge, so they can move different equipment around with different gauges.

    My grandfather W.S. Allen was stationmaster at Larkspur, CO. In the 1990's I was at the museum in Golden with my mom and she was searching down an engine that she said scared her brother to death as he was employed with the task of delivering the orders to the engineer holding that stick contraption while standing at the edge of the platform as that monstrous engine barrelled by. We thought we had found that engine on display at the museum but watching your videos it may have been one the large narrow guage engines she picked out. She said the engine she was talking about was the largest steam engine they ran on that southbound line out of Denver. I would guess maybe the 4-6-2 configuration standard guage? You are stating you don't have that? Do you know what the largest engine they ran down that line around 1935 to 1940 timeline?

    Super. They have one of my favorite locomotives, a center cab (GE 44 tonner?) switcher in CB&Q paint. I also vividly remember the vending machine that turned a penny into a souvenir, and when the museum trackage was connected to the C&S "Coors" branch line, and I remember being amazed that the steam locomotive pulling the passenger train could stay on the track on the museum's sharp curves, and the view of the museum's collection from the train was awesome. Please make sure all future locomotives and rolling stock have access to the main line loop, and are accessible and operable from the new property, unlike those beautiful F units, and hopefully three rail everything so that your standard gauge collection can get a workout also. Good video. 💙 T.E.N.
