Commuter Rail Maintenance Facility takes shape
RTD's new commuter rail maintenance facility in Globeville is nearly topped off with its structural steel. By autumn, it will be enclosed for the start of interior work. See the progress on the facility, at 48th Avenue and Fox Street, in this slideshow.The building and the railyard in front of it will be the nerve center for RTD FasTracks' new commuter rail lines. The facility in Globeville will be twice the size of the Elati Light Rail Maintenance Facility off South Santa Fe Drive in Englewood. Different than light rail and brand new to the Denver metro area, commuter rail vehicles are larger and operate at higher speeds than light rail.
