Welcome to the DSP&P Historical Society
The society's annual convention is August 19-20-21, 2021 in Leadville.
The schedule can be found here
Boreas Pass Railroad Day 2021 is August 21, 2021 (the third Saturday in August).
On Friday, July 23rd, while testing Klondike Kate, (first time in 2 years) a wedge connecting the right hand piston rod to the crosshead failed (hidden fault) and as a result the cylinder head failed. We are having a new one made. It is doubtful it will be ready by August 21st, but Kate will steam again, and the Boreas Pass Railroad Day will go on! The roundhouse, depot and all of the railroad property will be open to the public. There will be handcar and speeder rides available and the concert in the roundhouse will be at 2:30.
The Denver Brass will be joined by the Celtic Colorado Bagpipers and Drums!
