Whatever the case, this newly revived method of transportation is being treated as a priceless commodity by Denver skiers and riders tired of the I-70 shuffle. According to The Denver Post, 15,000 passengers have utilized the line to visit Winter Park since the line debuted on January 7th. An Amtrak Spokesman, Marc Magliardi described the passenger population as exceeding initial expectations.
