The Buckhorn Northern Railroad is in City Park of Loveland, CO. It was actually constructed and is operated by the local Lions club. The consist of the train was somewhat unusual in that it was all freight cars. The cattle car and the caboose are completely enclosed and locked from the outside. Didn't seem like a particularly fun way to ride a train but the kids seemed to like it. The lady engineer seemed to be having more fun than the passengers, blowing the whistle and ringing the bell just for the fun of it. The trip was reasonably long, a loop that went out through a well maintained and attractive park. It's has surprised me how many of these small towns have such nice and well used parks. I guess they don't get much use in the Colorado winters though.
