NEW: A four-mile stretch of RTD’s R-Line is set to resume operating in late November after a state commission on Wednesday signed off on new safety rules planned for an Aurora intersection where light-rail trains have derailed twice.
A four-mile stretch of RTD’s R-Line is set to resume operating in late November after a state commission on Wednesday signed off on new safety rules planned forTrain operators will face a speed-limit reduction from 35 mph to 25 mph on a straightaway as they approach the intersection of South Sable Boulevard and East Exposition Avenue. They also will have to stop before entering the intersection, where the track turns 90 degrees and has a 10 mph limit.
The Regional Transportation District says it anticipates service “will be fully restored beginning the week of Nov. 28” — more than two months after the most recent derailment on Sept. 21. Since then, the R-Line has been closed between the Florida and 13th Avenue stations. At its meeting Wednesday morning, the Colorado Public Utilities Commission approved the initial safety measures outlined in RTD’s corrective-action plan for the incident, according to an RTD news release. It also asked for more information by Dec. 31 about RTD’s proposals to add more signs along the track regarding the intersection curve and to move a radar-activated speed display farther north, which would give operators more warning.
