Winter Park Express host Stacey Arnold helps passengers with their gear Saturday, Jan. 8, 2017 after arriving at the resort. The Winter Park Express is now operational on Saturday, Sundays, and some holidays until March 26. The historic train service began in 1912. The trip is about two hours and travels through 28 tunnels. Getting your player ready...
Excited snowboarders and skiers got some bad news Saturday morning.
Amtrak’s morning train to Winter Park Resort was canceled after a freight train derailed along the route, Amtrak spokesman Mike Tolbert said. There will not be a train from Winter Park to Denver Saturday evening as its currently stuck in Denver.
Tolbert said the Winter Park Express should be running again tomorrow.
I'm sketchy on details of what happened with the freight train derailment, but it sounded like several train cars tipped over.
