COLORADO.com/Shuttles TRAVEL BY TRAIN In addition to historic and scenic railroads, Colorado offers modern and convenient train-travel op-tions. Amtrak’s California Zephyr line makes the trip from Chicago, to Emeryville, California. On its way, it makes a stop in Denver and passes through Fort Morgan, Fraser, Granby, Glenwood Springs and Grand Junction. The South-west Chief goes from Chicago to Los Angeles, with Colorado stops in Lamar, La Junta and Trinidad. In 2016, the wildly popular “ski train” returned to ferry skiers and boarders from Denver’s Union Station right to the base area of Winter Park Resort. The Winter Park Express, as it’s formally known, zips winter lovers straight to the slopes in just two hours on Saturdays, Sundays and select Mondays or Fridays, typically January through March.
