Photo ID: 106845 Date Shot Photo By Tuesday, December 12, 2017 Kevin Morgan Location Times Viewed Chem Spur Arvada, CO 943 (Add a Comment) Subdivision Railroad Moffat Tunnel (UP) Union Pacific Chem Spur was used to serve an oil company in western Arvada for years. Most recently, it was Mesa Oil. However, Mesa Oil recently moved to a new location, leaving the industry in Arvada abandoned. The spur has essentially been rusting for a few years now, weeds starting to overtake the rails. On this day, UP had a single piece of equipment sitting on the spur.
