Welcome
to www.moffatroad.org, the official web site of the
Denver & Salt Lake Historical Society and the Rollins Pass Restoration
Association.
The purpose
of the Denver & Salt Lake Historical
Society is to research and preserve the history of the Denver
& Salt Lake and its predecessor, the Denver Northwestern &
Pacific. Our primary function is to find and present unpublished
material before it is lost forever. The Society publication,
the Corona Telegraph, covers the DNW&P and D&SL up
to and including the merger years with the Rio Grande. From
time to time, we publish additional plans and data sheets that do
not fit in a magazine format. Members are also invited to
participate in Occasional Field Excursions to visit and discuss
features of the railroad where it all happened.
The
Rollins Pass Restoration Association,
a non-profit organization, was incorporated in 1983 by a group of
people who, like David Moffat, had a dream. We would support
the restoration of the Needle's Eye Tunnel, assist in preserving
as much of the original road as possible, and work towards restoring
the road to the condition as in 1979: a rural mountain road which
would be used by two wheel drive vehicles.
At www.moffatroad.org,
you will also find a bibliography and a
set of links to items relating to the DNW&P,
D&SL and other items associated to the Moffat Road. In
addition, be sure to check out Postmarked
Arrow, An On-Line Scrapbook of The Moffat Road for a
virtual ride on The Moffat.
To join either
society or to contact the webmaster just click here.
All items can
be accessed via the links at the left.
Thanks, and
enjoy your ride!
