Riding in the last car of a UP Officer's Special would be quite the experience. The car has a full picture window and stadium seating facing out the back to allow full viewing of everything behind the train. Such is the case here as the passenger train approaches the Simms Street grade crossing and, beyond, downtown Denver.
