Easy parking, very accessible.  Basic Information Type: Outdoors Status: Abandoned Accessibility: Easy Recommendation: worth the trip  Physical Information Address Indian Road Boulder, Colorado United States Owner:  Hazards rust unsafe flooring  Interesting Features A fair number of neat cars and engines - PLUS you can crawl around on a lot of them much more easily than you could at active museums!  Security Measures a few locks on the interior doors  Historical Dates Built: 0 Closed: 0  Required Equipment long pants / sleeves  Recommended Equipment  History From what I gather, the Boulder County Railway Historical Society was formed in 1997 to help preserve and restore historically significant railway equipment. This site was called the Valmont Railroad Museum, and is a section of track leased from Union Pacific. Not much of the information I can find is current - the latest article I can find referring to the museum is dated 2002. The cars all have stickers listing them now as property of the Museum of Railway Workers, which is - from what I can gathered - focused more in southern Colorado. The cars aren't in great shape, but evidently someone is somewhat actively looking after the property. The locks on all of the equipment is relatively new, and someone did drive up to the location as I was taking photos to retrieve some equipment from one of the sheds. He saw me and waved - didn't seem at all concerned that I was there taking photos - so I can only assume this is still open to the public in some fashion.  Media Coverage  Future Plans  Stories Add your own story  Photo Galleries August 23rd, 2012 Fri, Aug 24th, 2012 posted by Valdyr 25 pictures   Add your own photos Mark all galleries as Seen  Web Links http://www.colorad...road_Museum%20.htm  Contribute Edit this Location  Moderator Rating The moderator rating is a neutral rating of the content quality, photography, and coolness of this location.
