Help
Save the 1906 DNW&P Depot in Kremling
The
Union Pacific Railroad has decided to eliminate the historic 1906
Kremmling Depot. This is the last remaining frame DNW&P depot
of this floor plan. Some of the Grand County Historical Association
board members met with railroad representatives on March 18th, 2008
to discuss preserving the depot.
The
GCHA needs our help. A petition is being formed which will be handed
over to the Railroad in hopes that they will do whatever is necessary
to preserve this wonderful historical structure for Kremmling, Grand
County and train enthusiasts from all over. If you live in the county,
please call the museum at 970-725-3939 to find out where you can
sign the petition. If you live outside the area, please print and
sign the section below and mail it to:
Grand
County Historical Association

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 Our primary function is to find and present unpublished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. A members-only email group
is available for on-line exchange of information. 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.

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!
