The Walton-Penner ownership group is privately funding the Broncos entire new stadium project. The last nine stadiums to be built or that are in advanced stages of construction have utilized $6.5 billion in public funding - an average of $726M per city.

Who else is excited that the Denver Broncos are planning to build their new stadium at Burnham Yards? Will Burnham Yards be the home of the @Broncos where the Rio Grande built her powerful iron horses? Time will tell.

This chafes at the heart. I guess with that last forest fire, there was no keeping coal long term. Nonetheless, it's hard to see it go.

* as it says in the article, truckers can't go more than 12 hours without a mandatory rest period. They can feel pressure to cover as much ground per day as possible to keep their employers' bean counters happy, especially if they've been delayed by weather.

This new proposed Colorado State law is a good idea! It would protect cars on I-70 from being run over by a commercial truck driver trying to keep their hours requirement* by passing and speeding down I-70.

@americanrails Once upon a time, people could embark on a rail journey from practically any railhead or station. Then they started grouping passengers at certain stations and reducing service until we arrived at ...Amtrak for 50+ years. How the mighty have fallen!

You have to admit it. That's one sharp looking locomotive! 😍 Excellent work, @CSX !

[CSX @CSX]

Introducing the CSX Monon Heritage Locomotive! The Monon Railroad connected Chicago and Louisville, operating mostly in Indiana. It merged into the L&N Railroad, which became part of CSX. Watch the video for details of the heritage unit that celebrates our rich history. #ONECSX

Some things change, some stay the same.

The reliable train system that takes visitors and residents to the heart of Glenwood Springs is one of those things that has withstood the test of time.

Trains are great, and we need more to keep connecting Colorado!

[Colorado Railroads @Corailroads]

The problem was a switch plate between concourses B and C. Would this have been a problem if the trains had been rail-based and not rubber tire-on-concrete? Would it have been easier to find and fix?

Did you know? A toy 19th century coach for the Denver, South Park & Pacific makes a brief cameo in The Santa Clause (1994) during the opening credits. Coal stove, clerestory roof and all!

[Colorado Railroads @Corailroads]

@ColoradoDOT @CityofCOS Will this include the ped bridge over the tracks?

[Colorado Railroads @Corailroads]

@ASLRRA I think I recognize that number 90!

[Colorado Railroads @Corailroads]

@vailmtn Would make the Hermanator feel at home, ya?

@DenverChannel Merry Christmas ⛄🎄🎁🎄🎁🎄⛄ to Denver's 7!

[Denver7 News @DenverChannel]

The National Weather Service has issued its first winter weather alerts related to a Christmas Eve snowstorm that could bring more than a foot to parts of the Colorado Rockies and a white Christmas to Denver. ❄️ https://t.co/tBJEd8Y6Z7

Need a last minute gift idea for your train buff? Railfans are a painfully diverse crowd, but a subscription to Railfan & Railroad magazine or Trains magazine is usually broad enough to cover yr bases, and a subscription doesn't have to be shipped to you!
