E Line (RTD)

E Line (RTD)

The E Line, sometimes known as the Purple Line, is part of the light rail system operated by the Regional Transportation District in the Denver-Aurora Metropolitan Area in Colorado. The line was added to the system on November 17, 2006, with the completion of the Southeast Corridor project (the "T-Rex Project"). It is one of four routes that are part of the RTD's service plan for the corridor. Although it operates seven days per week, the E line does not operate during midday hours on weekdays as of January 11, 2009.

The E Line's northern terminus is at Union Station in downtown Denver. It shares track with the C Line from Union Station to I-25/Broadway, then diverges by a level junction onto a flyover, and then parallels Interstate 25 from there to Lincoln Avenue in Lone Tree.

According to a map in the RTD's current service plan for the corridor, the E Line's color is purple (also referred to as 'plum').
