Back to town
Title:  Back to town

On the platform
Title:  On the platform
Description:  The train is now at the platform, and well board for the trip back to Denver. They make you get off and wait at the station while the train pulls west of the staton for its short layover. A better option is get off at Arvada Old Town, which has shops and restaurants immdeiately adjacent to the station.

Arrived
Title:  Arrived
Description:  We have arrived at Wheat Ridge-Ward Rd on this G train. It will pull west of the station to change ends and return to Denver after a short layover. There is a lot of residential development going on here, as can be seen in the background, but thus far, not much for restaurants, etc, which will likely come later. Arvada Old Town is a better turning point if you want a bite to eat.

Looks like the South Shore
Title:  Looks like the South Shore
Description:  I had a chance to shoot some of the Denver RTD train while there for some medical consultation in late August and early September. One of the lines I caught was the A line to the airport. This eastbound(to the airport) train was crossing Green Valley Ranch Rd, near where it crosses Pena Blvd. The cars and catenary are strikingly reminiscent of the South Shore.

This car for Potenza, a skin treatment, has already done a trip to Denver, and now is on it way back from the airport. Ive been here a couple hours; this is where I came in.

First train of the day
Title:  First train of the day
Description:  The morning after I followed UP 4014 to Strasburg, I went down to Pena Blvd on the RTD to get some shots I had wanted to do on my previous trip. I spent a couple hours there, enjoying the interurban appeal of the trains heading to and from the airport. One was arriving as I walked up to the station, and I caught it between the catenary supports.
