On Friday, July 4, the Pueblo Railway Museum celebrated our Nation’s Birthday by hosting an event of train rides which attracted a good number of guests. Volunteers Ron, Jackie, John, Ben, Dwight, Colin, Bruce, Chris, Reid, Kendall, Nick, Doug, Bryan, Abel and Paul worked to get things ready, and stayed very busy through the event making sure our guests had a good time. There seemed to be a pretty steady flow of visitors through the day and it sure looked like everyone had a smile! The free ice cream and bottle of water with each ride sure made it better for all with the warm temperatures we had today.

The large crew worked well together, and everyone did their best to make sure we had a safe day and our guests enjoyed themselves. We also had a bunch of activity on the BNSF & UP lines right next to our running track. We always look forward to the 4th of July event, because we can showcase our locomotive, The Patriot in it’s bicentennial red, white & blue paint scheme. It sure looks good all cleaned up and having the bright sunshine reflect off of her!
