Heritage Railroads Throughout the West operate passenger trains along a section of original right of way, often using vintage railway cars and locomotives, for the public's learning and enjoyment. Preservation, research and interpretation of these historic railway lines provide passengers with a first hand experience riding the railroad and help communicate the lessons of history, in order that present and future visitors may learn from the past.
