Regional Transportation District (RTD) and its contractor, Denver Transit Partners (DTP), have been given regulatory approval to begin testing along the G Line. Commuter rail trains begin moving along the corridor from Wheat Ridge through Arvada and into unincorporated Adams County on 14 June.
The current testing process is focused on communication systems, signaling systems and the communication of traffic and rail signals at railroad crossings. The initial phase of testing on the G Line will be limited with only a few test trains running Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. The number of trains and frequency will increase as testing progresses toward the fully published G Line schedule. Testing along the G Line could last approximately 90 days.
“We are excited to begin testing along the G Line. Authorization to perform testing on the G Line is evidence of the dedication RTD and DTP have in working with the regulatory agencies to ensure a safe system for our riders,” General Manager and CEO Dave Genova said.
