The Glenwood Springs Station is a railway station in Glenwood Springs, Colorado, United States that is served daily by Amtrak's (the national railroad passenger system) ''California Zephyr'', which runs once daily between Chicago, Illinois and Emeryville, California (in the San Francisco Bay Area). (The next western stop is in Grand Junction and the next eastern stop is in Grandby.) The station also serves as a second Greyhound bus stop in Glenwood Springs. The station was originally built by the Denver and Rio Grande Western Railroad (D&RGW) in 1904, and is close to the banks of the Colorado River. It is composed of brick and Frying Pan River red sandstone, and the roof line is marked by jerkinhead cross gables flanked by medieval-inspired brick towers with pyramidal roofs. The Glenwood Railroad Museum occupies the former Ladies’ Waiting Room.〔 Beginning in 1983, both the ''Desert Wind'' (with service from Chicago to Los Angeles) and the ''Pioneer'' (with service from Chicago to ''Seattle'') previously stopped at the Glenwood Springs Station. Service by the ''Pioneer'' was dropped when that train was rerouted through Wyoming in 1991 (the train was later discontinued altogether in 1997). Service by the ''Desert Wind'' ended when Amtrak discontinued that train in 1997 (at the same time as the ''Pioneer'' was discontinued). Of the nine Colorado stations served by Amtrak, Glenwood Springs was the second busiest in FY2014. The station and the town feature in an episode of the BBC television series Michael Palin: Around the World in 80 Days.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://palinstravels.co.uk/book-1433?crithl=1136 )〕 ==Notes== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Glenwood Springs (Amtrak station)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
