ROCKY MOUNTAIN RAILROAD CLUB

The Rocky Mountain Railroad Club was founded in 1938. Our organization is dedicated to the preservation of historic railroad equipment and encouraging an interest in the railroad tradition. The Club has over 600 members. The majority of our members are from Colorado, but there are also members in 46 states and 6 foreign countries.

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

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 benifactor 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 purchasing and restoring historic railroad equipment. A list of our current projects which include, Denver and Intermountain No. 25 (the only totally intact, surviving car of Denver's once vast electric railway system) as well as a collection of rolling stock, can be found on the Foundation page.

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.

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.
