The Union Pacific "Dent Branch" ran north out of Denver through Thornton. It eventually turned west and ran in to Boulder, CO from the east. For years, the Valmont Power Plant received coal from the Dent Branch. A few months ago, UP completed the sale of the Dent Branch to RTD. In 2018, this will be a commuter rail line running to Union Station.
