We are proud to announce that members of the RMRRC have exceeded the matching grant promised by our foundation. As of March 19th members of the club have contributed $12, 215 for the continued restoration of RGS #20. The RMRHF delivered a check for $10,000 to the CRRM to restore RGS 20.

This site contains information about the Rocky Mountain Railroad Club, railroad history, stories of historic Colorado railroad cars, late breaking train news for railfans.

The preservation of rail history includes the memories and stories of the early railroaders who build and operated the railroads of Colorado. Personnel stories and histories submitted to us are part of Rail Reports page Personal Histories.

Number 20, acquired in 1952, is one piece of railroad equipment which the Rocky Mountain Railroad Club owned. On May 31, 2006 engine 20 was turned over to the CRRM Foundation ownership. An unnamed benefactor has provided funding to return the engine to operating condition. The restoration is being performed in Strasburg PA.

The Rocky Mountain Railroad Historical Foundation was founded in 1990 by the Rocky Mountain Railroad Club for the purpose of restoring historic railroad equipment. For many years our main project was the restoration of Denver and Intermountain No. 25 (the only totally intact, surviving car of Denver's once vast electric railway system). Car 25 was added to the National Register on January 12, 2012. The foundation page details how this piece of Colorado history wast saved from the scrapper.

railroad passenger car No. 25 was one of seven cars that provided passenger service between downtown Denver and Golden over the Denver Tramway Company's 13 mile standard gauge line. A history of No. 25 can be found by visiting the Foundation page. train books videos books videostrains equipmentbooks videos

This site is the result of the enormous contributions of the members of the Rocky Mountain Railroad Club. All railroad photography and writing contributed for this project are used with much appreciation.
