December 30th 2009 22:24
After 70 years of operation, the Denver to Winter Park ski train has
been derailed by the operators, Iowa Pacific Holdings after it failed
to reach a feasible operational agreement for 2010.
Iowa Pacific has stated that AMTRAK--the quasi mismanaged
government entity that supplies the train crews for the ski train--
has doubled their insurance rates for 2010. AMTRAK also claims
that Iowa Pacific's passenger cars are not up to their standards.
So, as it stands today, the Winter Park ski train is done. If you
are holding tickets for the Denver to Winter Park run this season,
get your refund as soon as possible.
