Colorado Railroad Museum
Colorado Railroad Museum Review
Just outside Golden is a must-visit for any choo-choo lover. More than 100 vintage locomotives and cars are displayed outside the Colorado Railroad Museum. Inside the replica-1880 masonry depot are historical photos and memorabilia of Puffing Billy (the nickname for steam trains), along with an astounding model train set that steams through a miniature-scale version of Golden. In the Roundhouse you can witness a train's restoration in progress.
