The best year the railroad ever had was in 1992 with 212,000 passengers. The new line to Mineral is moving along at a good pace. The northbound and southbound tracks are now laid with some ballast work yet to be done. The last segment too be laid was near the Tuffs Overpass. Poles are up from I-25 to Oxford and from Mineral to Bellevue.
Stations are in many stages of development.
The Littleton station seems to be farther ahead than the rest. As of the other day, car 125 was spotted at the car barn. Cars 126 to 131 have yet to arrive. Several of the new cars are already in service. When new cars arrive, they need to travel 1500 miles to make sure all systems are go.
