The crew on the Limon Local has assembled its train after picking up cars here at Roydale. The train is now out on Main 1, waiting for the dispatcher to set up a signal for the train to continue east.

When RTD wanted to build a commuter rail from Union Station to Denver International Airport, RTD purchased some of the right-of-way that UP owned between 36th Street and east between Sable and Mesa. With the proceeds from the sale, UP installed CTC on the west end of the Limon Sub, and added a second main track to the far west end as well.
