Amtrak has suspended the Winter Park Express service between Denver’s Union Station and the Winter Park Resort in Winter Park, Colorado, until winter 2022. 

Amtrak has been reducing the number of seats sold on each train to enable distancing. Amtrak and Winter Park Resort officials evaluated seating options on the route and agreed that, with the social distancing requirements, it was not possible to operate the train successfully this season, Amtrak officials said in a press release.
