Overview
|
A second main track will be added between Broadway (DS 900) and Belt Junction on the Belt mainline in Denver.
|
Purpose
|
With the completion of the Belt Flyover, the two bypass tracks funnel down into a single main track at Broadway. Adding a second main track would allow coal trains to move more quickly between Broadway and Belt Junction, as well as give locals more time for switching without delaying trains.
|
Plan
|
Adding a second main track parallel to the existing main track between Broadway and Belt Junction.
