    Operations: IOperations: I--25 South 25 South –– Joint LineJoint LineRail Corridor Consists of two tracks –former DRGW (UP) and ATSF (BNSF) alignment

    – Proposing to “undo” USRA-era mix and match that has been in place since 1918

    – This becomes the starting point for a further program of curve easements

    – Almost completely separate freight from passenger operations

    Joint Line and Spanish Peak LinesJoint Line and Spanish Peak LinesJoint Line, Littleton to Pueblo– With R2C2 - ATSF alignment used for passengers; DRGW for freight.

    Equip DRGW with bi-directional Traffic Control and 2 mile passing sidings at 10 mile intervals (same as parallel R2C2 line freight configuration.)

    – Without R2C2 – Fully replace the ATSF track by double tracking the DRGW alignment for freight with universal crossovers every 8-10 miles (except possibly from Palmer Lake to Colorado Springs where the passenger system builds it own track on the abandoned ATSF grade.)

    Spanish Peaks Line, Pueblo to Trinidad– With R2C2 – Spanish Peaks line will lose most of its freight traffic (Empty

    coal trains) as a result of R2C2 diversion. Upgrade one of the two tracks from Pueblo to Walsenburg to 110-mph, and single track from Walsenburg to Trinidad to best available speed based on curvature.

    – Without R2C2 – Upgrade one of the two tracks Pueblo to Walsenburg to 110-mph and co-mingle with freight (empty coal trains) at 79-mph from Walsenburg to Trinidad.

    Joint Line and CMLJoint Line and CMLJoint Line and CML, Denver to Littleton–With R2C2 - Detailed capacity simulation will be required to

    finalize freight requirements and ultimately determine the necessity of capital improvements through the area:

    - Tentatively, plan to add a track for bypassing the freight trainstaging area between South Denver and Englewood. The passenger track would “buffer” between the freight and LRT tracks and would extend 9 miles, all the way from the LRT flyover to DUS.

    –Without R2C2 – In addition to above improvements:- Maximally extend the length of the freight train staging area to the

    north end of the Littleton trench by adding switches at Crestline Avenue. Adding a fourth track here may require shifting the LRT tracks onto the “Electron Lead” to make room.

    - Additionally, based on the result of the line capacity simulation, if necessary to mitigate freight capacity needs, construct an aerial rail structure to carry the passenger line through. (An alternative may be either to tunnel, or else to displace LRT out of the trench to surface running.)

    Market Analysis: Winter SurveysMarket Analysis: Winter SurveysGoals – Three Distinct Survey Types– “Abstract Mode” surveys quantify how much travelers value time (VOT)– “Transfer” surveys evaluate penalty associated with changing trains/modes– “Bias” surveys evaluate modal bias Air vs. Rail and Auto vs. Rail

    Approach– Quota Surveys with individual “Sample Frame” Targets by Sub-Group (e.g.

    Trip Length, Mode, Trip Purpose).

    Survey Implementation– Fall Survey was targeted Primarily at Colorado Resident and non-seasonal

    tourism.– Winter Survey (completed) focused on Resort tourism:

    - DIA Survey of Colorado intra-state flights(VOT, Bias and Transfer survey versions)

    - Ski Resort surveys at Copper Mountain and Vail(VOT, Bias and Transfer survey versions)

    - Casino surveys at Central City(VOT version only)

    Differences in Fall vs. Winter SurveysDifferences in Fall vs. Winter SurveysBesides the three different survey versions administered (VOT, Bias, Transfer) the target populations were different:–DIA Surveys

    - The Fall DIA Survey targeted local Colorado Residents and screened out connecting passengers.

    - The Winter DIA Survey targeted all resort travelers on intra-state flights, including both local and connecting passengers.

    –Urban and Resort Surveys- The Fall Surveys at DMV, Rail and Bus stations targeted local

    Colorado Residents.- The Winter resort surveys targeted both “Day Trip” and

    “Destination” resort travelers.

    Winter Survey AnecdotesWinter Survey AnecdotesFlier on Aspen air connection–Felt that flying to Aspen was cheaper than renting a car for 10 days,

    and not needing the car

    Copper Mountain destination traveler–Staying in a time-share at Silverthorne, needs a car to get to and

    from the house. Wanted to know about availability of local rental cars at the train station

    Day tripper on Season Pass–Not particularly time sensitive, since they have a season pass to the

    ski slopes and don’t care if they have all day on the slopes.

    Central City casino visitor–Comes to gamble several times a week; enjoys the scenery and

    considers the ride up to be a part of the outing.
