The California Zephyr crosses over Grand Park Drive on a relatively new bridge. The bridge was built around 2019 to bypass the grade crossing (which still exists) in the distance. Railroads have annual quotas for grade crossing removals. This is one that UP has been able to remove. Residents of Winter Park were happy as they did not have to wait for long oil (or occasional coal trains) slowly climbing the hill to the Moffat Tunnel.
