Western Railroad Discussion > Some Great Western Railway action in Northern Colorado.Date: 01/28/15 19:58 Some Great Western Railway action in Northern Colorado. Author: cowxguy This was literally a grab shot as I rarely see any action from GWR. I was driving north towards Cheyenne on I-25 when I witnessed this eastbound train, with ex-CN 9522 GP40-2L, go over the highway on the short Loveland-Kelim branch, with just 5 cars. Judging the track conditions, the train wasn't moving more than 5 mph! Does anyone on here know the frequency of trains on this line Well either way it was nice to catch something other than UP/BNSF mainline action for a change!

It continues to Johnstown and down the Longmont line to Walker. Like any railroad operation, it may change day-to-day depending on traffic and switching needs.
