Photo ID: 106342 Date Shot Photo By Saturday, January 14, 2017 Kevin Morgan Location Times Viewed 36th Street Yard Denver, CO 1597 (Add a Comment) Subdivision Railroad Yard Shots Union Pacific With the construction of the RTD A-Line (Commuter Rail) from Union Station to DIA, several new pedestrian overpasses have been constructed. One such overpass crosses UP's 36th Street Yard in Denver. This offers a new perspective on the yard that was not previously possible! Here, we can see units used on locals and for switching in the yard (to the right), and some units on the "ready track" to the left. Those units (to the left) will be used on the MDVSI (Manifest, Denver, CO to Salina, KS). Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

At some cold station in New York or Pennsylvania. In the 1980s. But no, this is indeed a picture from Denver Union Station in 2017. An Amtrak F40PH, complete with red class lights, sits on Track 5, ready for the start of the Winter Park Express (Ski Train).

But, at least for this winter season, you will be able to find one here regularly! AMTK 406 is being used, as you can see, on the Winter Park Express this year. The new Ski Train! The first Ski Train of any type in eight years. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

That will allow for quick loading in Denver and unloading on the new platform in Winter Park. And vice versa in the afternoons!

Photo ID: 106302 Date Shot Photo By Thursday, January 5, 2017 Kevin Morgan Location Times Viewed Union Station Denver, CO 1517 (Add a Comment) Subdivision Railroad Denver Union Terminal (RTD) Amtrak Incredible how quickly things can change. While Union Station (the building) hasn't changed, the surrounding buildings and the tracks behind it in "train hall" have changed immensely in the last ten years! With six tracks (1-3 and 6-8) devoted to commuter rail, two tracks (4 and 5) are reserved for non-commuter trains such as Amtrak and, as you see here, the new Ski Train.
