As for K.C. to Denver operations for Amtrak, there are two routes that perhaps be mentioned.
One: The old Kansas Pacific line that happens to be the most direct route. Running thru Topeka, Salina, Burlington, CO., Limon to Denver.
Two: Use the present Amtrak route on the BNSF, K.C. via Dodge City to La Junta, CO., then north to Pueblo, Colorado Springs, into Denver.
An aside: Denver RTD is getting ready to start using the old KP tracks between the 23rd Street Yard to Denver International Airport for commuter services from Denver Union Station to the airport.
