Press release from the Colorado Railroad Museum: April 8, 2021 It's #TBT (Throwback Thursday)! Today we have home movie footage from Museum volunteer Michael McBride. Michael had his camera on-site at the Museum on October 10, 2009 to capture the operation of Denver & Rio Grande Western Pile Driver "OB" while it was on temporary loan from the Cumbres & Toltec Scenic Railroad. This fascinating maintenance-of-way equipment was used to drive heavy timbers into the earth for trestle construction Do you have any "home movies" that feature the Colorado Railroad Museum or Colorado Railroads and you'd like to share it?
