2010 Excitement at the Loop

Great new things are happening at the Georgetown Loop Railroad:

4th of July Fireworks Train

Our 4th of July Fireworks train in 2010 is back again bigger and better than ever. Combining our great cowboy BBQ and viewing the Georgetown fireworks show from high up on the Devil’s Gate high bridge is a great way to celebrate the holiday. This train sold out quickly last year so reserve early.

Moonlight in the Mountains Dinner Train

June, July, August, September
Returning this year is our Moonlight in the Mountains dinner train. A catered dinner on board our enclosed cars while atop the Devil’s Gate High Bridge divides the mountain beauty of dusk and dark into two unique experiences. Check our schedule for days, times & prices.

Wine Tasting & Hors d'Oeuvres Train

June, July, August
Also, back again this year is our Wine tasting & hors d'oeuvres train. We will present wines from different countries and wine families along with an accompaniment of delicious hors d'oeuvres. This wine tasting will be held high atop the high bridge. Space is very limited so reserve. Check our schedule for days, times & prices.

Pumpkin Festival Trains

Returning for a third year will be our Pumpkin Festival trains running the first two weekends of October. Our children’s hay bale maze and treasure hunt add to the fun and excitement of a fall excursion at the Georgetown Loop. Face painting and games are part of the fun. Check our schedule for days, times & prices.

Open on Weekends after the 11th of October

The Georgetown Loop Mining and Railroad Park® will be open on weekends after the 11th of October.

Journey To Another Time on a Scenic and Historic Train Ride ...

The Georgetown Loop Railroad brings Colorado history to life in a fun adventure that will thrill the entire family. The beauty of the rugged Rocky Mountains surrounds you as an old-time steam locomotive or one of our powerful diesel locomotives winds up the Clear Creek canyon, hauling your train past the remains of several gold and silver mines. Our fully enclosed as well as our open cars allow a breath taking view of everything along the line. Departures are available from the Silver Plume Depot or Devil’s Gate Station in Georgetown during the regular season. Trains operating after Columbus Day only operate from the Devil’s Gate Station in Georgetown. Gift shops at both ends of the line offer outstanding selections of railroad themed items, books, clothing, snack foods, and hot and cold drinks. Food is permitted on the train. Be sure to visit the Georgetown-Silver Plume National Historic Landmark District, established in 1966. The two towns have one of the largest concentrations of Victorian buildings in the country, with many unique shops and restaurants.The Georgetown Loop Historic Mining & Railroad Park and its surrounding communities provide the perfect way to spend a day!
