The Central Corridor is a rail line operated by the Union Pacific Railroad from near Winnemucca, Nevada to Denver, Colorado in the western United States.

Amtrak's California Zephyr uses the entire length of the Central Corridor, as part of its San Francisco to Chicago route.

A portion of the route immediately northwest of Denver also has dedicated electrified tracks for use by RTD commuter rail.

Upon reaching Salt Lake City, the line turns south and follows the Jordan River through Point of the Mountain towards Spanish Fork.

Both routes follow the Spanish Fork (river) up a grade in the Wasatch Plateau, cresting at Soldier Summit.

With the decommissioning of the route over Tennessee Pass, the Moffat Tunnel is the highest point on the Union Pacific system.

This portion of the tracks loosely follows Colorado State Highway 72, though at points the two corridors are in different canyons and several miles apart.

Even past where the tracks exit the Rocky Mountains, the grade features horseshoe curves in the final descent.
