LOVELAND, Colo. — The Great Western Railway’s Loveland depot, built in 1902, will be preserved following a short move from railroad to city property on Thursday, Feb. 6, 2025.

The Loveland Historical Society began working with Great Western owner OmniTRAX in 2012 to preserve the building, and eventually accumulated the funds necessary to move the two structures that make up the depot some 50 feet, KUSA-TV reports. OmniTRAX plans to use the station site for other purposes.

Mammoth Moving & Rigging performed the move.
