IT'S PEAK RUSH HOUR AT UNION STATION in downtown Denver and the place is packed. A family of three weaves through the crowd, dragging rolling suitcases with a tick-tock cadence as they pass the after-work-drinks crowd at Terminal Bar. The station's high, arched ceiling fuses the bustle into an energetic hum.
