DENVER — The Front Range Passenger Rail District has extended the voting for its Name the Train contest by a week to March 30, citing strong interest in the balloting.
More than 18,000 Colorado residents voted in the first 72 hours, the agency said.
“With thousands of Coloradans already participating, it’s been exciting to watch their excitement,” Sal Pace, general manager of the Front Range Passenger Rail District, said in a press release. “Extending the contest gives more Coloradans the opportunity to cast a vote, share their stories, and take part in shaping the future of an express passenger train in Colorado.”
The district announced the contest last week [see “Front Range Passenger Rail launches …,” Trains.com, March 9, 2026]. It offers voters four choices:
- Colorado Connector (“CoCo”)
- Colorado Ranger
- Front Range Express Destinations (“FRED”)
- RangeLink
Colorado Connector currently leads the voting. Voting is available at this page on the Front Range Passenger Rail website. Two winners selected at random will receive a trip on the service’s inaugural trip.
The proposed service will offer service to 13 stations between Fort Collins and Pueblo, Colo.
