In a very rare move, the Winter Park Express equipment was repurposed for one day to take several key dignitaries on a trip from Denver to Longmont on the Front Range Sub. Included on the train were Colorado Governor Jared Polis and Amtrak President Roger Harris, among others. AMTK 174, sporting Amtrak's newest (Phase VII) paint scheme, was brought in from Chicago specifically for the special. Here, the train crosses Clear Creek just north of Utah Junction.

You can see that a lot of rail used to run through the property, but evidence of them is disappearing as weeds overtake what is left on the property. Rumor has it that CDOT (the Colorado Department of Transportation) has purchased the property. For exactly what reason, it is not clear.

The roof of the main part of the building is gone, and most of the walls (and roof) of the secondary part of the building are also gone.
