A proposal to bring passenger rail service through Douglas County as part of a larger Front Range transit effort could be gaining steam.
The State of Colorado’s Southwest Chief & Front Range Passenger Rail Commission is looking at three possible routes to connect Fort Collins to Pueblo by passenger train. The approximately 180-mile rail line could improve regional travel and help alleviate traffic congestion on I-25.
One conceptual route follows the I-25 corridor on the east side of the highway and would pass through the City of Castle Pines. This route would potentially impact the Castle Rock communities on the east side of the highway as well. It is highly unlikely the train would stop in Castle Pines; the closest stations would be in Lone Tree and Castle Rock, according to Randy Grauberger, project director for the Southwest Chief & Front Range Passenger Rail Commission.
