The guest list for the 2011 Historic Colfax Railroad Days continues to grow! 

 

Anchored by the historic train coming from the Western Pacific Railroad Museum participants continue to line up. 

 

Early planning has focused on four venues.  First the downtown site at the Old Freight Depot will host vendors and the classic car show. The theater will host a number of railroad videos.  The community center is slated for an art show, memorabilia show, indoor modular railroad displays, and hopefully an outdoor large scale live steam railroad.  And lastly the full restored historic Colfax Depot will be open with motorcar rides adjacent.

Vendors interested in participating should contact the Colfax Area Chamber of Commerce @  530-346-8888

Artists, modular railroad groups and memorabilia vendors should contact the Community Center @ 530-346-8726
