The Georgetown Loop is a narrow gauge heritage railway located in Clear Creek County, Colorado in the United States. It runs for four miles (6.4 km) between the historic mining towns of Georgetown and Silver Plume in the upper canyon of Clear Creek west of Denver. Originally part of the larger line of Colorado Central Railroad constructed in the 1870s and 1880s, it was later dismantled, but was restored in the 1980s to operate during summer months as a tourist railroad.
