Yesterday, Denver’s newest light rail corridor opened with a ceremony at the end-of-the-line Lincoln Avenue station in suburban Douglas County featuring speeches from over a dozen local, state, and federal officials (Denver’s mayor John Hickenlooper received the loudest cheer), free food, giveaways, and thousands of happy citizens eager to spend a sunny Friday afternoon riding the train for free. How could I not be one among them?
Here’s a couple of photos from the ceremony and inaugural running of the new 19-mile Southeast Light Rail line. Free rides along all corridors of Denver’s 35-mile light rail system continue today.
