I arrived in Denver airport from where I caught the new Light Rail Train to Denver Union Station. Having made use of the free bus service though the mainly pedestrian area of the city centre to drop luggage at my chosen hotel, I had time on my hands and the rail ticket I-d purchased for just $9 to travel from the airport also gave me unlimited access to the rest of the LRT network, so I spent the afternoon riding the D line between 30th & Downing to Littleton-Mineral. Part of the D Line shares the same formation as the Union Pacific Rail Road offering a chance to watch massive freight trains in action on the main line. We also visit the Garden of the Gods to see some of the incredible balancing rocks that have made the area famous. Finally we catch the airport train passed numerous freight sidings and locomotive facilities before boarding a plane to Reykjavik. Filmed in September 2017

Hello, Tim! WOW, its perfect! :-) So Denver's tram lines, connected in hole Airport and such different landscapes like 14: 30+ (and best showed in previous video of Denver city) and typical central city quarters (like Downing to Littleton-Mineral, who are amazing sample of specific 'constructivism' of American culture, and sample of architecture of this amazing city too. And the use for tram the infrastructure of 'Union Pacific Rail Road' is specific American constructive research, maybe too. The 'Garden of the Gods' rocks, who arounds the city, is amazing too. /This place I watch here at first times. / I'm very glad to 'virtual returns', trought your videos: this and previous, to this nice places. You did an excellent American trip last year! And I glad that your works being good too. Thank you very much!

DENUSA here. A resident of Denver and a major railfan. I think you did an excellent job on catching the best that our light rail system has to offer the serious railfan. Glad you had good weather though that is common here. If you ever return to Denver I would suggest trying out our newer rail lines -G- and -W- which follow old railway/interurban ROW's. Again. Great Video! BTW I am great fan of yours, was surprised and delighted you visited my hometown

Thanks for sharing this, Tim. Loved it! I grew up in Colorado Springs, lived there 17 years, and in the Denver area for 8. I do miss it, but I haven't been back since 2000. I can't travel now for health reasons.
I would probably still recognize Colorado Springs. But Denver has changed so much in these 18+ years, I probably wouldn't recognize it!
(I wonder if Casa Bonita is still there)

Would you believe, my last visit to Denver, other than passing through in 2014 on the CALIFORNIA ZEPHYR, was in 1977! When I rode the RIO GRAND ZEPHYR that was operated by the D&RGW. What amazing changes have happened to Union Station, and there are new light rail lines etc. A fine video, thanks for posting it.
