DENVER—The Colorado Department of Transportation is launching a study of the feasibility of moving most through-freight rail traffic from the Front Range corridor to the Eastern Plains.
A CDOT study in 2005 concluded the public would benefit significantly from a rail relocation project.
The new study is expected to better define and evaluate preliminary rail alignments. It also is expected to determine costs, possible sources of funding, steps needed to form a public-private partnership and strategies for implementing the necessary environmental reviews.
