Film of C&S 9 in 1936

The following video is from a stock footage site.  It is a film from 1936 showing C&S No. 9 pulling away from a station followed by a baggage car and a coach with a quite crowded rear platform.  The title of the video mentions this as Denver, but the background certainly doesn’t appear to be Denver Union station.  Does anyone else have any ideas?  Also, why are there so many people on the rear platform?  Might this actually be the last passenger run to Leadville in 1937 instead of 1936?

Kurt,
Date is 10th April 1937.
Definitely the last train from Leadville departing Sheridan Jct for Denver, #60 was on the head for Leadville.
