Press release from the Colorado Railroad Museum: April 15, 2022 GOLDEN, Colo. – The Colorado Railroad Museum is bringing back Denver Metro's largest and most colorful festival of operating trains over the weekend of May 14-15, 2022. Called "Colorado Crossings: Intersections of History," the event will feature two coal-fired narrow-gauge locomotives under steam plus three "Galloping Geese" in operation. These beloved self-propelled rail cars once carried mail over Lizard Head Pass in southwest Colorado. "Railroads helped transform Colorado from a mountain wilderness into a booming state, and at this event we will feature a variety of operating locomotives, cars and equipment so that visitors can experience the sights, sounds, smells and thrills of early railroading in the Centennial State," said Paul Hammond, executive director of the Colorado Railroad Museum.
