[QUOTE]Originally posted by gibg: [QB] Contrary to above, Denver Union Station has NOT always been a "back-in" station. I can't remember when it was reconfigured (1960's?? 1970's??) but before that date most, if not all tracks went through. Some D&RGW, AT&SF and C&S trains departed to the southwest; UP, CB&Q, and the remainder of D&RGW and C&S trains departed to the northeast. The grand exception to all this was #17/18, the California Zephyr. Westbound it was wyed through the car wash and then backed into DUS. Eastbound it was wyed AFTER the station stop and again through the car wash. A set of freight-only tracks paralleled the passenger tracks to the north of the station. Those tracks remain and now carry all through freight operations, including lots and lots of coal destined for Texas and the southeast. [/QB][/QUOTE]
