#ThrowbackThursday to the roots of Colorado’s rich railroad history! As we celebrate our 65th anniversary at the Colorado Railroad Museum, we also honor #ColoradoDay with a special spotlight on the Denver, South Park & Pacific (DSP&P) Steam Locomotive No. 191.

View of the engineer side of Denver, South Park, & Pacific Steam Locomotive No. 191 (lettered as Denver, Leadville & Gunnison) on the turntable in front of the Cornelius W. Hauck Restoration Roundhouse Facility.

This historic gem is the oldest surviving steam locomotive to have operated in Colorado, representing the pioneering spirit and engineering marvels of the 19th century. Join us in commemorating the legacy of Colorado’s railroads and the stories they tell. Here’s to 148 years of statehood! #coloradorailroadmuseum #railroadhistory #steamlocomotive #coloradoheritage #celebrate65
