After a one-time trial in 2015, Amtrak launched the Winter Park Express in 2017. It is a successor to the ski train run by the Denver & Rio Grande Western from 1940 to 1988, and a private operator until 2009. Service expanded to every Friday in 2020, prior to the suspension of operations because of the COVID-19 pandemic.
