Скачать или смотреть Amtrak Special Demonstration Train (Denver-Boulder-Longmont) from Upcoming Front Range corridor, 3/7

#amtrak #colorado #174 Our colleague Derek Brown is at it again... chasing trains. This time, a special demonstration train on part of the planned "Front Range" intercity passenger service. Featuring freshly repainted Amtrak P32 #174, the train used the idle Winter Park Express train-set from Denver to Longmont.
--------------------------------------------
Amtrak ran the train from Denver Union Station to Boulder and Longmont filled with dignitaries and officials. This route will eventually see both RTD’s long-planned Northwest commuter service, and the new Front Range intercity service continuing up to Fort Collins.

Gov. Polis remarked, “Expanding passenger rail opens the door for more housing opportunities that Coloradans can afford, including transit-planned communities, saving Coloradans money, reducing traffic and pollution, and protecting Colorado’s quality of life for future generations."
