Last week marked the 10th anniversary of the opening of the W Line in Denver.  On April 26, 2013, this route opened between Denver Union Station and Golden, marking the completion of the first line to be part of the FasTracks program, an ambitious plan to build six new rail lines and a host of other transit infrastructure in the Denver region.  FasTracks also included the A Line to Denver International Airport and the reconstruction of Union Station in Downtown Denver for use by both RTD and Amtrak trains.  Although there were many line openings and extensions in the 2010s, FasTracks will not be officially completed until after 2050.
