The West Local switches out covered hoppers at the TXI Aggregate plant at the north end of the Rocky Flats Industrial Lead. The West Local typically had two geeps until 2003 or so when it went to a standard of three. There was a time when it ran with four! However, now that the Rocky Flats cleanup has pretty well completed, the local is back to just two geeps most of the time.
