Colorado RR Museum 2019 Trip

Great stuff! Thanks for sharing all those pics Bill. I really like all those old wood box cars.

 

Thanks guys!

 

Made another stop at the museum on the 12th of July, mainly to see what was going on during their 60th Anniversary weekend. Of course nothing major was starting until the 13th, but I still took some snaps for good measure.
