Amtrak filed a response to Iowa Pacific Holding’s request for an injunction that asked the federal court in Denver to force Amtrak to run Iowa Pacific’s resumption of the Ski Train from Denver to Winter Park.
Among other things, Amtrak says the locomotives and passenger cars Iowa Pacific wants to use failed a federal safety inspection, that union Pacific has yet to consent to allow the service on its tracks and that federal staffing rules require a second crew that Amtrak does not have to operate the train.
