City of Denver (train) The City of Denver was a streamlined passenger train operated by the Union Pacific Railroad between Chicago, Illinois and Denver, Colorado. It operated between 1936 and 1971. From 1936–1955 the Chicago and North Western Railway handled the train east of Omaha, Nebraska; the Chicago, Milwaukee, St. Paul and Pacific Railroad (the "Milwaukee Road") handled it thereafter. The train was the fastest long-distance train in the United States when it debuted in 1936, covering 1048 mi in 16 hours. For almost its entire career its principal competitor was the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy Railroad's "Denver Zephyr". When Amtrak assumed operation of most intercity trains in the United States in 1971 it discontinued the "City of Denver", preferring to use the Burlington's route between Chicago and Denver.
