The Silver San Juan Division serves the model railroading community of Southwest Colorado and Northwest New Mexico.

We are part of the Rocky Mountain Region of the National Model Railroad Association. We hold meetings and events covering railroading in all scales and eras. These include clinics to improve modelling skills, model contests, history, operations, and sharing what we are working on.
