With just over 20 minutes to go prior to departure, additional passengers walk down the platform of Track 5, carrying their equipment to the open baggage door on the coach/baggage car. The coach/baggage Superliner is the perfect car for hauling the ski equipment.

Looking at AMTK 146, currently the second unit on the Winter Park Express, note the "Ski Train" sticker with the classic Rio Grande herald on the side of the nose. A small, but wonderful, nod to the Ski Train(s) of yesteryear.

A Rio Grande Ski Train sticker has been applied to the sides of the nose of both AMTK 75 and AMTK 146, the current power on the Winter Park Express Ski Train. A nice homage to the Rio Grande and Anschutz Ski Trains.

Several folks are enjoying some drinks at the Terminal Bar. Not a bad place to hang out with some friends, particularly in the holiday season with the Christmas decorations in place!

Union Station is sporting its Christmas colors, as well as a Christmas tree out front and many other trees adorned with white lights. This is the view of the station as seen from across Wynkoop Street, specifically on the southwest corner of Wynkoop and 17th Street.

While much of the area around Union Station has significantly changed in the last two decades, the core structure of Union Station itself has not. It has been added to the National Register of Historic Places. While the exterior has changed little, the interior has been remodeled extensively. In particular, it now houses the Crawford Hotel.
