Passenger Trains > Denver B Line Service started todayDate: 07/25/16 12:47 Denver B Line Service started today Author: Grande473 The Regional Transportation District of Denver's B Line Commuter Train (not light rail) started passenger service today. The line runs fromWestminster to Denver with connections to the Denver International Airport Train, light rail and bus service at Denver Union Stations.
Since my picture came out sideways no pictures from me.. Date: 07/25/16 13:06 Re: Denver B Line Service started today Author: symph1 Are they going to run thru trains, Westminster - DUS - DIA?
Date: 07/25/16 13:35 Re: Denver B Line Service started today Author: Grande473 No. The Westminster trains will come in on Track 8. passengers would deboard and then board an A Line train on Track 1 or 2. When the G Line opens later this year and the N Line in 2018 the same proceedure will take place.
The G Line will operate to the Denver suburb of Wheat Ridge and the N Line will go to the suburbs of Thornton and Northglenn. Date: 07/25/16 17:25 Re: Denver B Line Service started today Author: symph1 Thank you, Grande. Any idea why not?
Date: 07/25/16 17:35 Re: Denver B Line Service started today Author: Auburn_Ed Could be that track layout in Denver makes it difficult to cross over from far tracks to near tracks. Anybody have a track layout of the DUS?
Ed Date: 07/25/16 17:46 Re: Denver B Line Service started today Author: Grande473 Equipment usage would probably be the reason. The A line has 15-minute headways while the B-line is 30-minute headways and 1-hour mid day headways. Denver Transit Partners , which runs the commuter lines for RTD, has set up a hub and spoke system. All trains go through DUS.
If there is a need a train could run from Westminster to the airport. Date: 07/26/16 01:07 Re: Denver B Line Service started today Author: F40PHR231 Auburn_Ed Wrote:

How about the others?
Date: 07/26/16 07:58 Re: Denver B Line Service started today Author: Grande473 The B Line follows the BNSF Denver-Cheyenne Line as far as 72nd/ Lowell. It is supposed to eventually go to Longmont but that looks like it is about 30 years away.
The G Line to Wheat Ridge follows the BNSF Beer Line to Golden as far as Ward Road. The B and the G lines share trackage from DUS to Pecos Junction, which is near Utah Junction on the UP/BNSF. The N Line will use a lot of the former Dent Branch of the Union Pacific.
