The Anschutz Winter Park Ski Train stopped running in 2009. Later that year, Ed Ellis' San Luis & Rio Grande was poised to run its own ski train for the 2009-2010 season, but an agreement with Amtrak and others could not be worked out, so it never happened. In anticipation of that event, however, SL&RG brought in two newly painted diesels to Denver's Union Station, where they sat for a few days. December 20, 2009.

Amtrak began its version of the ski train––Winter Park Express––in March 2015, and that seasonal train still operates today.
