Final free day at the Colorado Railroad Museum for Boulder residents
Aug 8th
The final free day at the Colorado Railroad Museum (CRRM) for Boulder residents will be held on Friday, Aug. 16. The museum is located at 17155 West 44th Ave. in Golden, CO, and the free train day runs from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. A free train ride is provided, weather permitting.
In 2012, extensive restoration efforts were completed on the city’s historic engine and rail cars, which include locomotive #30, Rio Grande Southern caboose #04990 and Denver and Rio Grande Western coach #280. These historic train assets were originally purchased in the 1950s by residents of Boulder, led by University of Colorado professor and Boulder historian John B. Schoolland. The City of Boulder has an agreement with the CRRM that the train will be on display at the museum for up to 10 years.
For free entry into the museum, adults will need to provide proof of an address inside the city limits of Boulder with a photo of identification. For more information, call Carey Sager, Parks and Recreation Department, 303-441-3858. For more information about the CRRM, visit www.ColoradoRailroadMuseum.org.

Man arrested in connection with scissor attack
Jun 27th
Roy Gene Seagraves (DOB 4/3/1961) was arrested in Longmont, CO around 10:15 a.m. today, June 27, 2013. Longmont police received a tip that Seagraves was seen in the 1500 block of Main Street. Longmont officers arrested Seagraves without incident and he has been booked in the Boulder County Jail on charges of First Degree Attempted Murder and First Degree Assault. His bond has been set at $500,000.
Boulder police linked Seagraves to an assault which occurred earlier this month. Investigators believe Seagraves attacked an 18-year-old man with a pair of scissors on June 15, 2013, around 10:21 p.m. The assault occurred in the area of 13th and Spruce Streets.
Boulder detectives received an anonymous tip from someone who identified Seagraves from a composite sketch released by Boulder police. The sketch matched a recent booking photo taken at the Boulder County Jail.
The night of the attack, the male victim told police he was walking with a female friend when an unknown male, wielding a pair of scissors, attacked him. The suspect held the scissors to the victim’s throat, but the victim was able to wrest the scissors away from the suspect. The victim was treated at the hospital for cuts and abrasions he received during the scuffle; his female friend was not injured. The investigation indicates that the attack was unprovoked.
The case number is 13-7877.
Anyone with information about this case is asked to contact Detective Kurt Foster at 303-441-4329. Those who have information but wish to remain anonymous may contact the Northern Colorado Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477) or 1-800-444-3776. Tips can also be submitted through the Crime Stoppers website at www.crimeshurt.com. Those submitting tips through Crime Stoppers that lead to the arrest and filing of charges on a suspect(s) may be eligible for a cash reward of up to $1,000 from Crime Stoppers.
