The Colorado Railroad Museum is a non-profit railroad museum located at the foot of North Table Mountain near Golden, Colorado.
The museum has the largest collection of 3 ft (914 mm) narrow gauge rolling stock of any museum in the North America[citation needed] and occasionally provides narrow gauge train rides.
The museum was established in 1959 to preserve for future generations a tangible record of Colorado's flamboyant railroad era, particularly the state's pioneering narrow gauge mountain railroads. The museum has 12 steam locomotives and over 80 pieces of rolling stock.
The museum publishes books and maps about North American railroads and the Rocky Mountain Region.
