Celebrate the rich rail history of the American West at Como’s Boreas Pass Railroad Day. The South Park Rail Society and the Denver, South Park & Pacific Historical Society are working to preserve and restore a segment of the old Denver South Park & Pacific/Colorado & Southern narrow-gauge railroad facility and rolling stock.
Public short train rides will be offered; other sights to see in Como include the restored old depot museum and the hotel (which doesn’t seem to be yet ready to host guests.) The day features a concert by the Denver Brass at 2:00.
The Roundhouse was built in 1881 by Italian stonemasons, and is in restoration, as is their 2-6-2 Baldwin locomotive, Klondike Kate.
Depending on interest, we may proceed down the road to Fairplay and tour South Park City in the afternoon.
