![]() In the image attached, that is the red box. Google Maps is probably at least a year out of date! Regardless.the platform you are seeing (with all the buses) is the existing Light Rail station that serves existing Light Rail Lines that run south from Denver (and the new West Line). > Also I found a track going northwest South of > buses in front and 2 long rows of gondolas behind. > north rim of the construction site with a lot of > I went to Google maps and found a platform on the Last edit at 10/23/13 08:32 by ColoradoRailfan. Alternatively, it could back across the yellow track to the orange track and the pull forward on the black track and proceed south.Įdited 2 time(s). If a passenger train pulled in forward to Union Station and is headed south, it could back across the cyan track to the blue track and the pull forward on the gray track to the black track and proceed south. Then back around the green track to the orange track and south on the black track. If a passenger train has backed in to Union Station and is headed south, it could pull forward across the cyan track to the blue track. I modified a previous map to add two new highlights (black and gray). UP ran a passenger train (led by 844) to the Colorado State Fair a couple years ago and Governor Ritter rode a passenger train down the Greeley Sub and then down the Joint Line in 2007. It has happened before.twice in the not too distant past that I can remember. > beyond, how would it be routed to and from the > run a train south toward Colorado Springs and While the FEIS does not show any track diagrams beyond what I included in the first image, I speculated a little and laid out what I image the track layout will look like once construction is complete leaving the station (second image).Īs you can see, the commuter lines never have to cross the passenger/freight tracks (or vice versa) in order for all trains to get into and out of the station. Track 8 -> Overflow for tracks 6 and 7 if needed. Track 7 -> Gold Line to Arvada / Northwest Line to Boulder/Longmont (if/when built). Track 6 -> Gold Line to Arvada / Northwest Line to Boulder/Longmont (if/when built). Track 5 -> Passenger (Cheyenne Frontier Day, etc) Track 3 -> Overflow for tracks 1 and 2 if needed. Track 2 -> East Line to DIA / Northeast Line to Thornton (if/when built). Track 1 -> East Line to DIA / Northeast Line to Thornton (if/when built). Based on that document (and assuming nothing changes), the first image below is how the track layout will be once construction is completed. I took the liberty of creating a graphic that sums up the information from the FEIS. If you want to look at the FEIS, you can find it here: I did some research, looking through the Final Environmental Impact study I found some information and diagrams about track layout and usage. Here are the threads from yesterday if you missed them: There were some questions about track configuration behind the station once work is complete as well as whether or not Amtrak would use the station and, if so, which track. This is a follow-up to two threads from yesterday that discussed arrival and departure of Amtrak in Denver as well as construction on Denver Union Station.
