What We Do
The Rocky Mountain Railroad Heritage Society is dedicated to the preservation and restoration of historic railroad buildings and equipment as used in the Rocky Mountain States.
To this end we will endeavor to educate individuals, groups, towns, cities and government entities on the importance of learning and preserving about the vital historic part that railroads played in the Rocky Mountain States unique history. We will assist in unifying all interested parties in developing successful strategies to secure grants and funding to accomplish their preservation mission goals.
Vision
The Rocky Mountain Railroad Heritage Society believes that a deep appreciation of the unique heritage of the west's railroads, in particular the Rocky Mountain States is essential in maintaining a deep appreciation of each state's history and growth.
The Rocky Mountain Railroad Heritage Society is totally integrated in the life and the social fabric of all of the many towns and cities that have a rich railroad history to look back on. We are dedicated to preserving the very history of the States of Colorado, Wyoming, New Mexico and Montana and the men and women that were involved in the many railroads which were located there.
Mission Direction
The primary mission goal will be to assist and help identify, restore and preserve railroad stations, out buildings, equipment, bridges, and any other items of historic value in the Rocky Mountain States. We wish to help educate individual groups, associations, societies, museums and governmental entities in the value of preserving and restoring their railroad history.
We will research and publish historic records and documents.
Find and restore stations and rolling stock on their original site when possible.
When there is no interest within the local community in saving these historic icons, a structural assessment shall be conducted, and if at all possible the item will be obtained and relocated to another suitable location for restoration and preservation. Again every effort will be to restore these historic icons on site.
