30th & Downing station (sometimes styled as 30th•Downing) is a RTD light rail station in the Five Points neighborhood of Denver, Colorado, United States. Originally operating as part of the D Line, the station was opened on October 8, 1994, and is operated by the Regional Transportation District.{{Cite news |last=Roberts |first=Jeffrey A. |date=October 9, 1994 |title=100,000 give light rail a heavy workout |page=C1 |work=The Denver Post}}{{Cite web |title=RTD: Central Corridor Light Rail Line |url=http://www.rtd-denver.com/PDF_Files/Fact_Sheets/CCLRT_Facts.pdf |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110715210038/http://www.rtd-denver.com/PDF_Files/Fact_Sheets/CCLRT_Facts.pdf |archive-date=July 15, 2011 |access-date=September 27, 2010 |publisher=Regional Transportation District}} It is the current northern terminus for Five Points trains.{{Cite web |title=Light rail system map |url=http://www.rtd-denver.com/LightRail_Map.shtml |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100922060013/http://www.rtd-denver.com/LightRail_Map.shtml |archive-date=September 22, 2010 |access-date=September 26, 2010 |publisher=Regional Transportation District}} Currently there is only one track on Welton Street for light rail trains, necessitating track sharing for trains in both directions between here and 20th & Welton. Therefore, only one line serves this station and all stations on the Five Points branch.
