Light rail |
| Description: |
The Denver RTD has, in addition to its Airport Line, a number of light rail(remember streetcars??) through and around the city. This train has just left the convention center, and is working its way along 14th St |

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. |

Catenary sunset |
| Description: |
Id hoped to get a glint shot here at 61st Av, but it was not to be. The train that was scheduled had been cancelled for lack of a crew. Too bad, the shot would have been a paean to the South Shore in the Indiana dunes. Next trip. Meanwhile, the sun sets over the catenary supports. |

First train |
| Description: |
After shooting UP 4014 at Strasburg, I made a bee line for the RTD, hoping to get a couple glint shots of trains coming into 61st-Pena before the sun went too low. As I was getting off Pena Blvd, this inbound train rolled past while I waited for the light. |

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 |
| 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. |

End of the line |

The station sign at Ward Rd on the G line, presently the end of track there in Wheat Ridge. Theres a lot of development going on there, apartments going up, and likely stores and restaurants in time. We noticed that there was often development near RTD stations. |
