Elsewhere on this site, I commented that the Steamtown National Historic Site is the premier museum in the country for preservation of steam lomocotives. If Steamtown is the premier museum for steam locomotives, the Colorado Railroad Museum must be the premier museum for any and all types of railroad equipment. Its collection is vast and includes steam, diesel, and cog railway locomotives. Where else would you find three of the famous "Galloping Geese" plus a huge array of freight and passenger equipment, an 1880's replica depot, a roundhouse, and a massive railroad library? If you are ever in the Denver-Golden Area of Colorado, don't miss this phenomenal museum.
