6. Colorado once had three North-South Front Range passenger routes

And at least some of the track is still there.

A passenger train ran along that route almost to the creation of Amtrak.

I should think a passenger train along that route has potential—to the South, New Mexico’s rail runner service between Santa Fe through Albuquerque has proven remarkably successful, and that part of NM has far fewer people than Colorado’s Front Range.
