Do you love trains? Do you have a child who loves trains? If either or both of these things are true, then you need to get yourself to the Colorado Railroad Museum in Golden, Colorado on the second, third, or fourth weekend of September – because Thomas the Tank Engine is coming! Even if you don’t love Thomas in particular, this museum is fantastic, and we think you’re going to have a great time.
The Colorado Railroad Museum in Golden, Colorado was founded in 1959 to preserve the incredible history of trains in Colorado.
It's on 15 acres and it has a huge and interesting collection.
Outdoors, you'll find lots and lots of train cars, locomotives, and railroad equipment to view and, in some cases, even board. There are over 100 historic narrow and standard gauge locomotives and cars in the museum's collection.
The Colorado Railroad Museum in Golden is a hidden gem in the Denver metro. If you haven’t been before, this is the perfect opportunity to go and show the little train enthusiast in your life all the cool trains – not just Thomas, but all of them. Have fun!
