Denver, Colorado - May 22, 2011 - Part II

Here are more photos of the Denver-area light rail lines known as the RTD (Regional Transit District).
These were all taken on Sunday, May 22, 2011.

After turning on to California street, we head 2 blocks northeast to the 16th Street station.
This is the station stop. The trains have a reserved lane in the direction opposing traffic.

This street is known as the "16th Street Mall", and is pedestrian-only except for the frequent shuttle buses.

On our return trip, we needed to transfer again from the "D" to an "E",
and this time we make the transfer at the "I-25 & Broadway" station.
Here's our southbound "D" leaving the station...
