BNSF's Golden Sub has been severed from the UP at C&S Junction. UP is working on extending a second track west of C&S. Soon, this switch will be part of a crossover between the existing main and the new, second main.

This new track will extend west at least to Lamar Street, and possibly further west.

There is obviously still quite a bit of work left to do in order to complete the bridge (adding a second track across the creek), but signs along the bike path beneath the bridge indicate it should be complete by August.

UP will be adding a second track here soon. Once the second track is in, the BNSF tracks will no doubt be hooked back up. The question now is exactly where will the BNSF tie back in.

This has been done to allow UP to add a second main track. Whether or not the new track will use the old BNSF alignment here (utilizing the existing grade crossing) remains to be seen.

Photo ID: 103763 Date Shot Photo By Sunday, June 19, 2011 Kevin Morgan Location Times Viewed CP DS007 (Arvada) Arvada, CO 1379 (Add a Comment) Subdivision Railroad Moffat Tunnel (UP) Union Pacific At Lamar Street, you can clearly see the grade work that has been done by UP to facilitate the addition of a second main track. It appears as though this track may converge with the existing track at CP 7.5. The new track will likely be used for holding coal trains that need to be recrewed between Lamar and Tennyson. The new track will allow DS-86 to continue to run trains around the tied down train.
