This site is owned and maintained by Dennis Turner , who is in the process of building an N scale DCC powered model layout called "Denver's RailRoads" (DR) — a 37' x 17' layout which is based on the railroads that used the Denver Union Terminal (DUT) for passenger operations from 1947 to 1962 and the freight trains that ran through Rio Grande's North Yard, the C&S Rice Yard, the CB&Q 38th Street yard and the UP 31st Street yard up to 1969, prior to the creation of the Burlington Northern Railroad in 1970.
This is a map of all of the class 1 railroads that entered Denver's rail yards during the 1950s and 1960s. The map also shows the major towns that connect with each railroad. Ultimately the model layout will comprise the D&RGW line from Denver to Glenwood Springs, as well as the D&RGW branch line to Craig and the C&S branch line to Golden. All of the other connections shown on this map will be represented by two return loops comprising of 7 staging tracks for the West, North and North-east connections and 7
