Railroads

  Third grade students visited the Colorado Railroad Museum near Golden, Colorado as part of their study of railroads. This museum has 14 acres of historic locomotives and train cars. Take a virtual tour of the museum grounds with us.

  George Last, an engineer on the Burlington Northern Railroad, spoke with each of the classes and showed us railroad memorabilia. Find out some of the interesting information he shared.

  Several students did further research about trains:

• David H. Moffat
• Timeline of Early Railroads
• Railroad Tracks
• Diesel Engines and Cabooses
• Bullet Trains of Japan
• Chunnel Trains
