DENVER - The Ski Train has left Denver.

The train that has provided weekend service between Denver and Winter Park for 69 years has been sold to a Canadian company. The sale was confirmed by a spokesman for Denver business man Phil Anschutz.

The yellow-and-black mainstay of Union Station has been sold to Algoma Central Railway Inc. That's a subsidiary of the Canadian National Railway Co.
