Weld County Sends Out Warning As Train Activity To Resume On Quiet Tracks
GREELEY, Colo. (CBS4) - Trains are set to begin running on a stretch of track in Weld County that has been quiet for the past eight years.
With the rekindling of activity on the tracks between Windsor and north Greeley, authorities are sending out a warning to people to be safe.
The tracks that have stood absent of trains since 2008 have often been crossed by drivers without any concerns about trains in recent years.
A post on the Weld County Government Facebook page said "Pay attention to the tracks; do not cross if a train is coming."
Authorities also said people should never use the tracks as a walking path.
The Facebook post states the following roads will now be seeing the resumed train traffic, which will primarily take place between 7 a.m. and 7 p.m.:
Weld County Road 23/Great Western Dr. (Windsor)
