Sponsorship Opportunities

We are on track for some great changes and we want you to be aboard. Now that we own the rolling stock, we are asking all interested parties to help preserve and protect the legacy of the historic gondolas and engines.

Remember your first experience of riding the rails and seeing the Colorado Mountains?  Hearing the whistle blow and feeling the rush of excitement as the train rounds the bend?  Help keep that experience on track for generations to come.

Sponsor one of our historic Denver & Rio Grande Western open gondolas that will be riding the rails, or select and sponsor your favorite seat—then get on board and enjoy the view!

Your donation will help restore and maintain these wonderful historic symbols of Colorado's railroading past.  A great gift for any occasion! 

What better way to honor your family, friends, or club and show your support for the Colorado Historical Society and the Georgetown Loop Historic Mining & Railroad Park.

As the exclusive sponsor of one of the engines or gondolas you will receive a lifetime Silver Railroad Pass and Certificate of Sponsorship. Your designated recipient will have their name engraved on a special plaque that will ride the rails in Colorado for years to come. 

We accept credit cards, transferred appreciated stock, and checks. If you prefer, make a pledge and we will send you reminders tailored to your request. 

Stake your claim and support the Georgetown Loop Historic Mining & Railroad Park.
