Updates from the Moffat Road Railroad Museum
by admin on Jul.13, 2024, under Colorado
Just got back from a trip to Grand Lake, CO during which we had to get back down to Granby to re-visit the Moffat Road Railroad Museum. Several things are happening there… We had to check up on their progress constructing a 7.5″ gauge ride-on railroad around their perimeter. It’s coming along! Next, we had to check out the old Dumont Depot which was moved to this museum last year and is now undergoing renovation. And lastly, their big new HO layout depicting the Moffat Road Railroad from Moffat Tunnel all the way to Craig, CO. The last (and first) time we saw this layout, it was an expansive, empty room with a concrete floor that had blue tape markings for where the benchwork would be. All the photos start here.

All Aboard!
The rails of a railroad track are kept shiny on the top by the regular passage of trains. Thus, "To Shiny Rails" is the battle cry of my personal effort to keep railroading activities of all kinds available to as many people as possible. It's tantamount to exclaiming "Keep those trains a rollin'!". And with any luck at all, I'll personally be on as many of those trains as possible! To shiny rails, Jamie
