As of 5/29 It was Union Station, and there were no signs of construction at the station.

It is one of the largest "one train" stations on the Amtrak system. Salt Lake had a beautiful UP station that probably rivaled it before it closed.

Still at Denver Union Station for now...... moving to the cinderblock light-bulb 'temporary' Amshack building later this year.

I was through Denver on #6 May 16 and all of the tracks at Union Station, except for the one the Zephyr backs in on, had been removed just the week before.

I remember stopping there last year on the e/b CZ and thinking it odd that the train backed into the station (especially since there was a Rockies game that evening and the train seemed to block a fairly major road full of arriving fans while doing this). I shrugged it off at the time and just assumed that it was because we had arrived via the Wyoming detour. Of course, I've learned since then that it was simply SOP at Denver Union Station. Baseball fans in Denver must love Amtrak.

I was hopeing that someone who had been through there in the last week or two might have current conditions. There was supposed to be a "temporary" platform near Coors Field while Union Station was done over. It could be that the schedule has been delayed and all is as usual.

When I arrived in Denver on May 16th.....not quite four weeks ago, crews were digging in the dirt getting ready to install the drainage system in the area where the new, temporary platform is going to be. The building which will house the Amtrak station showed no outwardly visible signs of being converted yet. It even still had 'For Lease' signs hanging on it. There was absolutely no signage inside the waiting room at Denver Union Station heralding the redevelopment project or announcing Amtrak's imminent relocation......

My best guess....and it is just a guess.... is tht Amtrak will be in Union Station still until at least Labor Day..... and perhaps several weeks after that.
