The Christmas tree and Christmas decorations have all be put up for the holiday season. While the infrastructure was not changed with the redevelopment of the area, the inside of Union Station was pretty significantly remodeled. New restaurants and the Terminal Bar were added. The Crawford Hotel moved in. The seating inside was completely redone. It looks pretty good! Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

Photo ID: 111428 Date Shot Photo By Sunday, December 15, 2024 Kevin Morgan Location Times Viewed Union Station Denver, CO 149 (Add a Comment) Subdivision Railroad Denver Union Terminal (RTD) Amtrak When Amtrak was first formed in 1971, it was EMD that primarily got into the passenger power game, with the SDP40, followed by the F40PH. Then, in the 1990s, GE won the next contract with Amtrak with the P42DCs, beating out EMD's F59PHI. Fast-forward another 30-ish years, and neither EMD or GE (well, now Wabtec) are in the passenger game! Siemens is in the process of building 125 ALC-42 "Chargers" to supplements (or, in some instances, replace) the aging P42DC fleet. The units will be numbered 300 to 424.
