Drivers are likely somewhat surprised to be stopped for a train as this spur only sees (on average) one train every three weeks.

Note that the light covers on several of the stop lights for CO-93 are missing, likely due to the high winds that are often found out here.

Photo ID: 108524 Date Shot Photo By Wednesday, October 14, 2020 Kevin Morgan Location Times Viewed CO-93 Crossing Arvada, CO 1147 (Add a Comment) Subdivision Railroad Rocky Flats Industrial Lead (UP) Union Pacific Cars on CO-93 are stopped at a stoplight that is green 99.9% of the time! The West Local has to cross both CO-93 and CO-72. The crossings are not protected by traditional lights and bells, however. Instead, there is a stoplight. When a train approaches, it trips a circuit that turns the light red for traffic and the train gets a green light. Trains also proceed at restricted speed, ready to stop very quickly in the event cars are not paying attention. Of note, UP 1344 is ex-DRGW 3121, so it certainly is not a stranger to the Rocky Spur.
