Deal also includes an easement for a Denver rail line.

Gov. Jared Polis and Union Pacific Railroad President Beth Whited signed a 25-year lease agreement for passenger rail access through the Moffat Tunnel Monday, providing a route for regular train service from Denver to the mountains.
“We’re embarking on a new era of partnership. Union Pacific will continue to facilitate the commerce needs of Colorado and the West and the country while expanding passenger rail service to get Coloradans and visitors where we want to go,” Polis said. “Saving time and money, reducing congestion and reducing pollution.”
