Why isn’t the rail going along a major road where land has already been split with roads and right-of-ways?
The two study alignment areas reflected on the study area map represent two general geographic alignment areas for study purposes only. R2C2’s purpose is not to determine a specific alignment. The purpose of R2C2 is to investigate the feasibility of moving the majority of through-freight rail traffic away from the Denver to Pueblo Front Range corridor to the Eastern Plains of Colorado. The study will analyze potential benefits; determine the costs of the potential project; determine what steps have to be carried out to form a public/private partnership; investigate funding and finance sources; develop strategies for carrying out the necessary environmental clearances and begin the public outreach process. There will not be a recommended alignment for a bypass at the end of this R2C2 study.
