The museum has been founded in the late 1950s by a private association. Today you can explore more than 100 railroad engines (both steam and diesel electric) and wagons from over 120 years of Colorado's railroad history. Furthermore theres a running museum train, which takes you on a 15 minutes train ride all around the museum.

Great place to check out the crazy history of railroads from Colorado's mining past. Lots of narrow-gauge trains, you can do rides, and the museum building is a replica of an 1880s-style railroad depot.
