The Colebrookdale Railroad Preservation Trust (CRPT) is a non-profit organization dedicated to preserving and promoting the historic Colebrookdale Railroad in Pottstown, Pennsylvania. The railroad was first constructed in the 19th century to transport iron ore and other materials from the region's mines to Philadelphia. It operated until the mid-20th century and was then abandoned for many years.

In the 1990s, a group of local residents formed the CRPT to restore the railroad and turn it into a tourist attraction. Today, the organization operates a scenic railroad that runs through the picturesque countryside of Berks and Montgomery counties. Visitors can take a ride on one of the vintage trains and experience the beauty of the area from a unique perspective.

In addition to operating the railroad, the CRPT also works to preserve the history and culture of the region. The organization runs a museum in Pottstown that showcases artifacts and exhibits related to the railroad and the area's industrial heritage. They also offer educational programs for schools and other groups, as well as special events throughout the year.

Overall, the Colebrookdale Railroad Preservation Trust is a vital part of the community in Pottstown and a valuable resource for anyone interested in history, railroads, or the natural beauty of Pennsylvania.
