All
Aboard!!
At
the
Colorado
Train
Museum!
If
you
love
western
history
and
trains,
this
is
a
must
see!
A
perfect
place
to
bring
the
kids!
If
you
do,
you
must
bring
quarters!!
Warning!
If
you're
a
big
train
enthusiast,
you
may
never
want
to
leave!
Wonderful,
knowledgeable
staff,
very
professional,
very
clean,
and
a
perfect
day
trip
to
learn
and
explore
and
even
research
in
their
library!
I
will
be
going
back!
They
have
a
beautiful
and
very
well
preserved
indoor
museum,
displaying
period
era
clothes,
letters,
luggage,
and
technology
such
as
a
early
20th
century
camera;
pieces
of
time
that
otherwise
would
be
a
faded
memory.
This
area
of
the
museum
envelopes
you
in
a
atmosphere
only
found
in
the
early
days
of
the
west.
They
also
have
a
very
large
(to
say
it
fills
the
room
is
an
understatement)
working
model
scale
display
of
historical
Colorado
and
of
course,
running
model
trains!
Working
they're
way
through
tunnels,
across
bridges,
and
into
towns,
these
model
trains
are
quarter
activated,
so
be
sure
and
bring
quarters!!
The
train
yard
has
2
centuries
worth
of
trains
and
rail
cars
that
you
can
get
up
close
and
explore!
A
true
wonderland
for
a
train
enthusiast
to
play
and
enjoy.
Walk
through
the
ages
the
steel
and
industry
and
the
mighty
horses
that
drove
them
and
the
cars
that
carried
it
through.
Everything
from
famous
steam
engines,
snowblowers,
to
diesel
driven
express
trains
that
carried
passengers
east
to
west.
I
have
been
a
train
enthusiast
all
my
life
and
think
I
know
all
when
it
comes
to
trains.
However,
I
learned
so
much
about
the
movement
west
and
how
trains
were
the
heart
of
everything
that
is
west
of
the
Cumberland
Gap
and
the
Mississippi
River.
This
museum
gave
a
lot
of
gravity
to
the
hardships
that
were
met,
yet
overcome
to
produce
the
western
United
States
as
we
see
it
today.
And
stopping
at
the
rail
crossing
with
a
modern
day
train
running
through,
the
railroad
being
just
across
the
street
from
the
museum,
they
are
still
building
the
west
today.
I
want
to
thank
all
those
that
have
made
this
museum
possible
and
running
today!
I
remember
watching
a
national
geographic
on
trains
as
a
child
and
found
many
of
those
exact
trains
from
the
movie
here
in
the
heart
of
Colorado
at
your
museum.
I
cannot
express
what
that
means
to
me.
Thank
you
for
your
love
and
care
of
our
beloved
trains
and
their
history!
