The red neon atop this stoic 19th-century fortress glowers down and de-
mands you 'travel by train' - and you still can. But not until renovations are completed in
spring of 2014, when the new Union Station will provide a multi-modal one-stop shop for
service to Denver metro light-rail lines, commuter buses and Amtrak.
There are even plans to build a hotel on site, and you can definitely expect a number of
restaurants and shops opening up here.
