That runs and maintains the railroad. The Commanche Crossing & Eastern is a 15" gauge hobby railroad started by Virgil Uhrich and his family in the summer of 1975. Through the years, over a mile of track with sidings, 4 trestles and a tunnel have been constructed. A three-stall roundhouse and gallows turntable are currently under construction. Motive power includes steam, diesel, and electric locomotives. There are 2 lines: the "High line" on a grueling 3% grade. It runs point to loop past Selby and Cori Butterworth's home (which has been converted from a Rock Island Railroad depot); and the "loop line" that runs past the picnic grove. The CC&E does not have normal operating hours. We have scheduled work sessions that we post on this page. If you would like to help or join our club please contact Selby Butterworth 1-720-724-1496 or Jeff Thain 1-303-829-6220

With advance arrangement we can accommodate groups for a reasonable fee. Call if interested in helping out or supporting the CC&E!
