E Line (RTD)
The E Line is a light rail line which is part of the rail system operated by the Regional Transportation District in the Denver metropolitan area in Colorado. The line was added to the system on November 17, 2006, with the completion of the Southeast Corridor as part of the T-REX Project. It is one of four routes that are part of the RTD's service plan for the corridor.

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'.
There are currently extra E Line trips between Union Station and Southmoor station due to a maintenance works project on the Southeast Corridor between I-25/Broadway station and Lincoln station, which suspended R Line service south of Florida station. As the project was paused, service on the E Line was reduced to running every 30 minutes.
