Ghost Train is a unique podcast miniseries about the people with a vision for a greener transportation system in Colorado, the challenges that kept much of that plan from becoming successful and the ideas that might help the region move forward. Hosted by CPR News transportation reporter Nathaniel Minor, Ghost Train explores an everyday problem that many American cities face and takes a hard look at the possible solutions.
