Colorado Train History Private Tour
Service Description
There is something special and child-like about spending the day with the big kids immersed in train history on a beautiful Colorado day. Immerse in train history of the Front Range. By the mid-1880s, the Denver Union Station, formerly known as the Denver Union Depot, had between 60-80 trains arriving and departing each day to the Eastern Plains cities or western mining town. See how Denver has re-vitalized the rails and developed a center for social activities to meld the grand past with the quirky present. The Colorado Railroad Museum offers an experience to stroll the 15-acre rail yard with over 100 narrow- and standard-gauge steam and diesel locomotives, passenger cars, cabooses, G scale garden railway and more. Feel history being brought back to life in the Roadhouse with a working turntable. Next, visit the historic mining town of Georgetown. The Georgetown Loop Railroad takes you through the rugged Rocky Mountains as the old-time locomotive chugs its way up the canyon 5 1/2 – 6 hours $600 for up to 3 people includes transportation, museum admission and train ride
