This is a scene that has changed drastically in the last two decades. Most of the buildings visible in the immediate area behind the train did not exist in 2000.

So, engineer Gary gets a little creative and uses a water bottle with some soap mixed in to attempt to clean off the windshield a bit.

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!

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

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.
