OK - at least the rent is a little more palatable there in Minnequa-burg.

"Concrete Madness to Steel Insanity to ????"

Still doing the latter. Just going to be engaging in said activities a bit further south. I guess it's appropriate to have a steel mill in one's backyard to be properly insane, right?

I'll still be wandering up to the Northglenn office once a week or so, though.

Concrete Madness to Steel Insanity to ????

Sounds like a good couple of names for rock bands staffed by civil students working their way theough e-school.  Maybe "Down and Dirty" for soils people.

Come to think of it, though, mining engineers would be better because they really know how to get down and they like hard rock.

Have they finally lined over the track at the platforms on the airport lines so that the cars actually can get by the platforms?Dunce

Good afternoon all,

Saturday morning proved to be on the foggy side. I decided to head down to Union Station before heading into work. The fog lifted a little bit by the time I got to LoDo, but I did find the Zephyr there, along with a couple sets of RTD's new electrics running around. I nabbed this photo of one of the new units along with some of the signals and catenary around the station:

Things are going to be changing pretty soon, so I won't be able to spend as much time around Union Station, so it was nice to be able to see part of what the future holds for the old landmark.

As always, thoughts, comments, critiques or questions more than welcome!
