The fastest Denver-Pueblo run times in passenger days were 2 1/2 hours by the Colorado Eagle and the Texas Zephyr. Then it was double track all the way and was a time when there were no coal trains. It was also a time when a dispatcher would actually put a freight train in the hole when a passenger train overtook it.
