The Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) is exploring a new initiative to enhance transportation options in the central Rocky Mountains. The plan involves developing a network of passenger rail lines that connect the mountain towns and regions with urban centers and recreational locations. This project aims to use existing rail infrastructure to meet the growing demand for passenger rail service.

The Mountain Rail route will use the existing rail line that extends from Denver to Craig. The specific station locations along the new route are still under consideration. CDOT is currently evaluating multiple factors to identify the most suitable sites for these stations. As a part of this ongoing study, community feedback is crucial in shaping the final decisions. This input will be integrated with engineering requirements and design constraints to ensure the selected station locations meet both practical and community needs.
