PROGRESS!

We are making great progress with the Colfax RHP, thanks to our generous sponsors and dedicated committee members. I cannot stress enough how much we appreciate their incredible generosity and commitment.

We are building this park as a tribute to Colfax’s rich railroad history and its role in helping lay the cornerstone that shaped our nation. We hope the community will see the park as a gift to its residents and the generations of families who built this town.

To date:

City support: Received initial council encouragement and seeding.

Rail, ties, hardware, and labor: Generously donated and delivered by local businesses and organizations.

Flatcar: Offered by NCNG upon completion.

Ground survey: Completed, with acceptable strata to proceed.

Site plans: Currently being prepared for submission to the City.

We'll have detailed information and illustrations in the depot waiting room on July 3. Stop by and check it out!

The Colfax Railroad Heritage Park project is funded by local businesses, sponsors, and donations.

Aquire funding and...

2. Locate and hire a planning engineer.
3. Draw and submit plans to the city for approval.
4. Excavated and groom railbed.
