The depot in Colorado Springs hasn't been used as a depot since the end of passenger train service for most freight railroads in 1970 and 1971. There is still a restaurant in the depot as it sits alongside a very empty yard at Colorado Springs. A single UP GP40-2 (now a GP40N after a UP rebuild) and former Rio Grande caboose sit waiting for an assignment.
