Steam & Excursion > Steam in July?

Any steam trips planned in Colorado for this July? Even rumors?

Also steam in August. The UP is running a Colorado State Fair Train to Pueblo, Aug 25 I think.

I highly recommend checking the website, Steam Train Diary. It lists steam locomotive excursions in the United States and Canada. While the website states that it is not intended be a complete listing of steam excursions, based on what I've read on Train Orders regarding excursions, the John McIvor, the webmaster (and a TO member) does an excellent job of compiling information on these trips.

You can also check Union Pacific's excursion website:

In addition to the Frontier Days Excursions, there are positioning trips between Denver and Cheyenne. In previous years, one-way trips from Denver to Cheyenne were offered with a bus ride back to Denver. These were sponsored by the Rocky Mountain Railroad Club. I do not know if they will be offered this year. I rode the one-way 2002 excursion with 3985 and had a great time.
