O scale model railroad layout includes 6 running trains at once, tunnels, water, bridges, auto roadway, and a huge ski mountain with 2 chairlifts. The Interpretive Center includes 8 different pieces of railroad equipment in various stages of restoration. The Visitor Center has artifacts to take you back to the old Moffat Road railroad times, plus the gift shop has handcrafted local artisan items and kids’ toys available. Great entertainment for families as well as railroad enthusiasts!

Voted Best of Grand
A BIG THANKS… to all who voted for us for the Sky-Hi News’ 2021 Best of Grand in the “Best Museum” category! Technically we came in 2nd place, as the Troublesome Stories: Art and Artifacts from the East Troublesome Wildfire temporary display in Grand Lake was awarded first. We are excited (and proud!) of all we’ve accomplished, particularly in the past year and a half, with our fun community events and the progress on our Master Plan.
Opening Day!
We are a 15 year tradition running Christmas trains in Grand County! Our doors reopened the day after Thanksgiving, Nov. 26. We hope to see lots of locals, second homeowners and visitors this holiday season!
1922 Steam Locomotive Has Arrived!
On Friday, October 8th, 2021, the 1922 WestSide Lumber #8 3-truck Shay was loaded up in Canon City, CO and transported to the Moffat Road Railroad Museum where it was rolled from the truck onto our museum’s tracks. This beautiful, restored piece of railroad history is quite impressive to see!
