Touring the Rails (with Train Rides)

Join the Colorado Railroad Museum for this popular program’s second year. Interpretive staff are on hand to share stories and answer your questions about featured railcars and spaces including among others the museum’s turntable, Pullman lounge and dining cars, and passenger cars.

The familiar whistle has always promised adventure. The gentle rock of the rails has set the rhythm of our lives. Climb aboard one of our Train Rides, and you can re-live the magic of the rails all over again!

For 2021, we will be operating open-air coaches pulled by a vintage diesel locomotive on most operating days. A steam locomotive may be substituted on selected dates! Our popular “Galloping Goose” rail motorcar will not be operating during the 2021 season due to ongoing concerns related to social distancing and COVID-19.
