DENVER — Infrastructure company Rocky Mountain Industrials Inc has reached agreement with Patriot Rail Co. to provide service at the Rocky Mountain Rail Park, a 620-acre project some 29 miles east of downtown Denver in Adams County, Colo. The development features direct interchange with Union Pacific and is adjacent to Interstate 70.
“The RMI team is pleased that Patriot Rail will provide service within the Rocky Mountain Rail Park,” RMI CEO Brian Fallin said in a press release, citing Patriot’s commitment to safety as a “cornerstone value” and its “commitment to exceptional customer service.” Patriot Rail CEO John Fenton said his company looks forward to “providing premier freight service options to cusomters at this world-class facility in the dynamic and accelerating Denver region.”
Rail service at the facility is expected to begin late this year. At full building, the rail park will include 15 miles of track in its manifest and unit-train infrastructure. More information is available here.
IIRC, this is the former Rocky Mountain Arsenal.
No, this is greenfield space. The Arsenal was farther west, closer to Denver.
Kinda looks like that. There is also a balloon rack and a Wye at the front. Look at the artist rendering on the brochure page.
Wonder if all the turnouts will lead to trailing spurs, with no run-around moves needed.
