System map
Title:  System map
Description:  The RTD system map is displayed at all the stations. It shows not only the heavy rail lines but the light rail lines as well. Weve done the A, G, and N lines, all heavy rail. Need to get the mileage on the light rail lines, which are extensive, covering more distance than is obvious on the map, which is not to scale

Coming back around
Title:  Coming back around
Description:  If you stay in one place long enough, youll see the same equipment multiple times. This car for Potenza, a skin treatment, has already done a trip to Denver, and now is on it way back from the airport. Ive been here a couple hours; this is where I came in. I have to start back for home, and want to get some action on the Joint Line on the way. This is the last train Ill see on the RTD today. Ill be back in April for my wifes recheck at National Jewish Health.

A different 4014
Title:  A different 4014
Description:  I just spent two days following UPs 4014 across Kansas and Colorado(and another day chasing it in Oklahoma), only to find myself looking at a much different example of that same number, this one advertising a car rental operation. Kind of appropriate, since it will shortly be at DIA
