Welcome to www.moffatroad.org, the official web site of the Denver & Salt Lake Historical Society and the Rollins Pass Restoration Association.
The purpose of the Denver & Salt Lake Historical Society is to research and preserve the history of the Denver & Salt Lake and its predecessor, the Denver Northwestern & Pacific. Our primary function is to find and present unpublished material before it is lost forever. The Society publication, the Corona Telegraph, covers the DNW&P and D&SL up to and including the merger years with the Rio Grande.
We’re sorry to announce that the Society is winding down after a 26 year run. The final issue of our Corona Telegraph was published in the spring of 2024. Our website and back issue sales will be available until the end of May, 2025. We will not be reprinting any issues so we are limited to the stock on-hand. If you need any back issue copies of The Corona Telegraph or any of our books click on the links above.
The Rollins Pass Restoration Association, a non-profit organization, was incorporated in 1983 by a group of people who, like David Moffat, had a dream. We would support the restoration of the Needle’s Eye Tunnel, assist in preserving as much of the original road as possible, and work towards restoring the road to the condition as in 1979: a rural mountain road which would be used by two wheel drive vehicles.
At www.moffatroad.org, you will also find a bibliography and a set of links to items relating to the DNW&P, D&SL and other items associated to the Moffat Road, as well as an equipment roster (coming soon). In addition, be sure to check out Postmarked Arrow, An On-Line Scrapbook of The Moffat Road for a virtual ride on The Moffat.
