History
The Winter Park Express is a seasonal passenger train service operated by Amtrak between Denver Union Station, Winter Park Resort, and Fraser, Colorado. The scenic 56-mile (90 km) route uses the same line as the California Zephyr, climbing 4,000 feet (1,200 m) into the Front Range and passing through 30 tunnels—including the historic 6.2-mile (10.0 km) Moffat Tunnel under the Continental Divide—before dropping passengers within 100 yards (91 m) of Winter Park's ski lifts. As of 2026, the Winter Park Express runs five days a week from January to March. In 2025, more than 41,000 riders made use of the system during the 3 month seasonal service, setting a modern ridership record.
