Cars on 72nd Avenue wait for two DPUs to bring up the end of this eastbound Provo-Denver to clear the crossing so they can continue on their way. A few years from now, and these cars should not have to stop here at all anymore as 72nd Avenue will run underneath the tracks on a new grade separation. It is interesting to note that, once this grade separation is complete, there will be about 7,000 feet between Kipling Street and Simms Street. Enough room for a train to stop (if it needs to) without blocking any crossing. Something that cannot really be done today throughout most of Arvada east of Leyden.
