Note: I just provide the links, not the criticism.
Coloradans spent the 19th century building a statewide rail network, then spent the 20th century ripping it out.
And now 21st-century Coloradans are rebuilding rail passenger service. Besides RTD's southeast metro light- rail line opening this fall, this spring brought the resurrection of the scenic La Veta Pass route into the San Luis Valley.

The original, poky narrow D&RG inspired the old jokes "The Rio Grande is on time anytime." The faster (up to 45 mph) and safer (no derailments or accidents so far) SL&RG offers roomy seats and a friendly crew, who forewarn you about the tunnels and the elk. Herds of up to 80 have stopped the train, to the delight of rubbernecking riders....
