The museum is dedicated to historic preservation of railroad history, interpretation and presentation to the public. Operated by dedicated group of volunteers. We try to present a "hands-on" alternative learning experience to all visitors and are developing programs with local library and school districts to include periodic visits in curiculum. We are starting up a new restoration center at 330 D Street, ultimate plans include a rail park and operating line connecting with the HARP riverwalk project.
Museum was opened by the Pueblo Locomotive & Rail Historical Society in 1995. Pueblo Railway Foundation was formed in 2003 and took over operation after the PL&RHS ceased operation. Almost all of our collection has been donated by railroads or the City of Pueblo. The PRF has a better business footing, has instituted many new programs, acquired properties within and to the north of the Depot, has recieved and is seeking grants for restoration activities and museum improvements.
