  • RTD's first light rail line, a 5.3-mile (8.5 km) section of what is now the D Line and L Line, opened on Friday, October 7, 1994. It operated with free service for that half day and the first weekend, with revenue service starting on October 10. It was estimated that more than 200,000 passengers rode the new system during its two-and-a-half-day opening weekend, when the fleet comprised only 11 Siemens SD-100 rail cars.
    Since that time, several additional light rail lines have been opened. An 8.7-mile (14.0 km) southwest extension to Mineral Avenue in Littleton opened in July 2000, and the 1.8-mile Platte Valley extension to Denver Union Station opened in April 2002. An additional 19-mile (31 km) Southeast Corridor extension along I-25 to Lone Tree and a branch along I-225 to Parker Road were completed in November 2006 as part of Denver's T-REX project.
    As of April 2013, the system had 170 light rail vehicles, serving 47 miles (76 km) of track.~Wikipedia

    First and last time I was in Denver was 1971-72. Amazing how much it has grown and changed in 50 years! I was 19 then.

    the train cars with the folding doors at 2: 54 and 7:07 are quite a rare sight nowadays, as they're the last remaining few of the RTD's original batch of trains. I'm glad you got those on camera while you still could

      The ones with the folding doors aren't too uncommon to see, it's rare too see them with the old paint style that they originally had before switching to the blue stripe though

    Some of the light rail lines in and around Denver can be kinda scary sometimes. There's a lot of heavy drug use and I've seen some violence. I really hope RTD does something to try to clean this up.

    They only run one car trains on the L line and the other lines they run 2 car trains during weekends and 3-4 car trains during rush hour and weekdays

    Are the *orange lights flashing* constantly? Aren't they supposed to be turn-signals or emergency lights?

    Are these the same type of siemens-100 cars that SDMTS uses?

      Definitely! :) It was wild coming from Colorado and riding on the SD MTS. RTD Denver has more of the SD-160s in the fleet, however. The key exterior difference is the 100s with the bi-fold doors and the 160s with the sliding doors.

      The Saturday of a holiday weekend does mean that the business district is going to be fairly closed. The rest of the city is pretty active in the summer, tbqh.

      Denver pretends it's a city, but really it's basically just a 30-mile-wide suburb with a couple tall buildings in the middle and exactly one walkable street.
