You could say that. Amtrak is back, the new underground bus terminal is open for business and you have three light rail lines terminating there.

Train Hall has eight tracks. Amtrak uses the middle two, Tracks 4 and 5, and both extend all the way through. The other six tracks have a staggered platform arrangement. Track 1 extends all the way through and has a continuous platform. You could fit at least an eight-car commmuter train on that track. Even the station going up at DIA isn't that long. The Airport Line will be a limited-stop deal, with only six stops in all, and most of those will only accommodate two, maybe three cars. It'll be interesting to see if conductors will be used, if for no other reason than to cut out doors on longer trains.

Track 2 extends all the way through, but its platform begins about halfway through. Track 3 ends at bumper posts roughly where the platform for Track 2 begins. On the other side, Track 6 mimics Track 3, Track 7 mimics Track 2 and Track eight ends about 3/4 of the way through.
