The Pueblo Railway Museum is hosting a “Railfan Day” on August 9, which will feature short train rides, a photo freight, slide shows, and more. The event will run from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. and cost $40 per person to attend. 

The Pueblo Railway Museum was established in the early 2000s by the Pueblo Railway Foundation and features a variety of equipment, including a Santa Fe 4-8-4, three operational GP9s, and a trio of unusual “Rocket Cars” from the 1960s. 

Festivities will begin at 8 a.m. on Saturday with a shop tour, followed by caboose rides at 9 a.m. At 11 a.m., a photo freight will run. In the afternoon, there will be additional tours and a slide show. For more information and to register, visit the museum’s website. —Railfan & Railroad Staff
