Colorado Rail Museum. 17155 W 44th Ave, Golden, CO 80403 303-279-4591. This is a fun place for several reasons. It is right up against the Foothills and has a great view of the Coors Brewery, but more importantly they run trains on Saturdays! They have an oval track that is double-tracked Standard/Narrow Gauge. They run trains of both variety.Forney Museum of Transportation. 4303 Brighton Blvd, Denver, CO 80216 (303) 297-1113. This one is just north of downtown. Great for Steam lovers. If you are a car enthusiast (especially Cadillac) you will love this place too. Light Rail- The West Line is the one that runs along an old trolley right of way, which you really can't see anymore and doesn't really run very fast at all. Towards the end of the line there is a long flyover bridge that offers a beautiful view of the Front Range. Either of the South Corridor lines will reach top speeds of 55mph. Trains out of Union Station are interesting as they pass Mile Hi Stadium, The Pepsi Center and Elitch's Amusement Park and run adjacent to BNSF right of way and then UP right of way. Trains from Central Denver are interesting if you like street level running. Maybe you'll get lucky and see the EMUs getting tested along the new East Line! |
