History
The line was added to the system on April 5, 2002, to coincide with the opening of the Central Platte Valley Spur. Initially, C trains operated seven days a week, but ran to Littleton–Mineral station only during peak hours and sporting events. At all other times, C service operated to I-25/Broadway.
On May 3, 2003, C trains began operating to Littleton–Mineral station at all times.
With the opening of the Southeast Corridor on November 17, 2006, weekend C service was discontinued except for certain sporting events, with the new E line operating seven days per week.
On January 11, 2009, the midday service pattern between Union Station and I-25/Broadway was resumed and evening service discontinued.
Midday weekday service was discontinued on January 19, 2012 and was reinstated on August 17, 2014 over the entire route.
The C Line was suspended on January 10, 2021 as part of broader service cuts in response to ridership decreases related to the COVID-19 pandemic.[1] The line never returned to service and was officially eliminated ahead of the January 2023 service change.[2]
