The H Line, part of the light rail system operated by the Regional Transportation District in the Denver-Aurora Metropolitan Area in Colorado, was added to the system on November 17, 2006, with the completion of the Southeast Corridor project (the "T-Rex Project").

The line was extended to reach Florida station on February 24, 2017 along with the opening of the R line.[1]
From 3:00 am to 5:30 am, some H Line trains originate at Evans Station operating southbound to Florida Station.
Currently, the H Line is operating at a 60 minute headway due to repairs of the coping panels on the Southeast Corridor. This is a reduction from the line's typical 15 minute headways. Additionally, trains are detouring from 18th Street to Union Station due to downtown Denver track recontruction.[2]
