Experience the Locomotive No. 491

D&RGW Steam Locomotive No. 491

D&RGW Steam Locomotive No. 491 in stall No. 1 of the Conelius W. Hauck Roundhouse.
         Back to Service Event!
D&RGW Steam Locomotive No. 491 is once again operational and will make its debut at a special after hours event on Friday, August 29 from 5:00 – 8:30PM and to the general public on Saturday August 30.
Locomotive No. 491 was donated to the Museum by History Colorado in 2013 and has been made operational as a result of its nearly pristine boiler and the efforts of Master Mechanic Mike Spera and his crew.
We are very excited to be able to put this impressive 2-8-2 K-37 back into service!  If you are a photographer, a fan of steam locomotives or train enthusiast, you will want to make your reservations for Friday Night’s special event.
This $100 per person exclusive experience includes:

  • Catered dinner and array of beverages
  • Exclusive behind the scenes tour of the Locomotive
  • Outstanding photo opportunities with great late afternoon/early evening light
  • Opportunity to be among the first to ride behind newly restored Locomotive No. 491 since the 1963!
  • Tickets to the public event on Saturday Aug. 30
