Photo ID: 105457 Date Shot Photo By Wednesday, August 12, 2015 Kevin Morgan Location Times Viewed Rocky Flats Jefferson County, CO 1753 (Add a Comment) Subdivision Railroad Rocky Flats Industrial Lead (UP) Union Pacific, Helm Leasing The Rocky Flats Industrial Lead perhaps looks a little worse for the wear! Lots of rain in 2015 has led to lots of growth. The West Local (currently just light power) progresses north toward the north end of the spur where they will pick up a handful of covered hoppers from the only customer remaining for the West Local to serve.

The light power is approaching the grade crossing that once led to the Rocky Flats plant. If you look, you can see part of a cattle guard in the foreground.

Photo ID: 101629 Date Shot Photo By Thursday, October 11, 2007 Kevin Morgan Location Times Viewed Rocky Spur Jefferson County, CO 1731 (Add a Comment) Subdivision Railroad Moffat Tunnel (UP) TXI The TXI plant - located roughly halfway between CO-72 and the south end of Boulder along CO-93 - is the last industry served on the north end of the Rocky Spur. Anybody who's driven past on CO-93 will probably remember it! This shot shows the plant along with the new "critter" being used to switch cars out at the plant.

Photo ID: 101628 Date Shot Photo By Thursday, October 11, 2007 Kevin Morgan Location Times Viewed Rocky Spur Jefferson County, CO 1677 (Add a Comment) Subdivision Railroad Moffat Tunnel (UP) TXI It appears as though the GM8 that has been used by the TXI plant (at the end of the Rocky Spur) for so many years may have finally fallen off its last leg. This new "critter" showed up a few weeks ago and has been switching hoppers that the GM8 used to switch. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture. Photo ID: 101627 Date Shot Photo By Thursday, October 11, 2007 Kevin Morgan Location Times Viewed Rocky Spur Jefferson County, CO 1814 (Add a Comment) Subdivision Railroad Moffat Tunnel (UP) TXI At the very end of the Rocky Spur is the TXI Plant (that has gone through several different owners over the years). For as long as I can remember, the plant has switched out covered hoppers using this old G8. It is in pretty sad condition and may actually be inoperable at this point. It hadn't moved in several weeks at the time I took this shot. This is the VERY end of the Rocky Spur, just a few dozen feet away from CO-93.
