Smith, County Attorney, Greeley, Colorado, for applicant; E. G. Knowles, Esq., Denver, Colorado, for Union Pacific Railroad Company; J. L. McNeill, Denver, Colorado, for the Cormni ssion. - _ . _ - STATEMENT _ _ . By the Commission: - --On August 7, 1951, -Weld- County; Colorado;- by its County Attorney,- Robert G. Smith, ,Esq., filed an application with the Commission seeking authority to relocate and reconstruct a county road crossing over the track and right-ofmwey of the Union Pacific Railroad Company about one mile north of Eaton, Colorado. The.matter was set for hearing on August 21, 1951, at ten o'clock A. M., in the Comad.ssion's Hearing Room, 330 State Office Building, Denver, Colorado, and, after appropriate notice to all interested parties, including the owners of adjacent property, was there heard by the Commission, and taken under advisement. At the hearing, testimony of Mr. Carl Magnuson, Chairman of the Board of-County C67missioners, disolbsed that the crossing in—question is on a county road and is particularly hazardous because of limited vision and steep approach evade from the south. The county road was constructed along • • e • • . the noP.thsouth section line between Sac. 30, T. 7 N., R. 65 N., and Sec. 25, T. 7 N., R. 66 U. The math line of the Union Pacific Railroad Company be- tween Denver and Cheyenne, 'Warning, crosses the County road in a northwest- erly direction, and the road crossing is therefore on a long diagonal. Attached to the instant application and accepted at the hearing as &hibit No. 1 is a nap kith. profile sections to show the situation at the crossing. To overcome the inherent hazards of the present crossing, it the proposal of Weld County to construct a new crossing a sufficient dis- • tance northwesterly to secure a location that affords better vision, elimi- nates the steep grade and will allow the crossing over the tracks and en- trance to the adjacent highway to \be made at a right angle rather than in the existing angular manner. A proposed crossing location is also shown on the above mentioned &hibit No. 1. • According to the instant application and furthertsstimony at the hearing, the daily rail traffic over this crossing consists of nine scheduled trains and various extra or unscheduled trains that may travel between 20 and 60 miles per hour. Vehicular usage consists of passenger cars, and a heavy volume of truck traffic during the sugar beet and potato shipping seasons. During the school term, this crossing is also used for school bus travel. . The files of the Commission indicate that the adjacent property owner, Mr. Don Anderson, has given his consent to the proposed work. Letters from The Mountain States Telephone and Telegraph Company and the Home Light & Power Company indicate the consent of these utilities and a willingness to co-operate in any plant rearrangements that may be required. At the time of the hearing, it was shown that the Railroad Company had no objection to the proposed work, but, in the absence of any contract or agreement with the County, no positive commitments could be made relative to _ _ the_expense_involved_in raising telegraph wires, changing fence line and cattle guards, and necessary grading and drainage on the railroad right-of- way. Mill co-operation in the preparation of the necessary estimates and -2- / D/lo ' . c2 i- /b •• work. agreement s:as offered by Counsel for the Railroad Compesy. Othdr testimony by Mr. C. D. Voris, Division Engineer in this territory for the Railroad Company, indicated.that the geneval crossing re- location as proposed as quite feasible. It would be possible to provide a greater degree of safety to both railroad passengers and the motoring public by the !Improvement of sight distances and elimination of the steep approach grade. Also; in view of a limited accident history at this crossing, it was established that 'the present protection of crossbucks and advance warning signs would be adequate at the more advantageous location as proposed in this application. The files of the Commission further indicate that, as a result of on the site conferences between Mr. Magnuson and Mr. Voris, there has been negotiated a working agreement relative to the details that were incomplete • at the time of the hearing. In a letter to the Comission by Mr. E. G. Knowles and dated October 30, 1951, the general provisions of this agreement are outlined as follows: . Veld County will, (a) Do all the grading, (b) Furnish and install a proper culvert pipe, (c) Bear one-half of the expense of • raising the two wire lines. _ - - Union Pacific will,' (a) . Relocate the cattle guards and crossing structure, (b) Do all the fence work, (c) Bear one-half of the expense of raising the two wire lines. Upon further inquiry by the Commission's Staff; it was ascertained from Mr. Voris that the Engineering Department of the Union Pacific would survey and lay out the 'proposed crossing site as follows: The center line of the new crossing -to be approatmately 470 feet northwesterly along the Union Pacific tracks from the center line of the present crossing. The Crossing will be staked for 24 feet of width and will be asphalt surfaced _ `betkeea the ₹°ails-and-to the-ends-of the-ties.--Railroad -forces will also -- - - - - - - relocate the_crossbucks and provide flagging protection for_.the grading _ _ operations adjacent to the trackage. roc'//ic • • • No adj€:cent pro_oerty owners appeared at the hearing, and the files of the Commission do not show any objections to the proposed con— struction. • FINDINGS THE COMMISSION FINDS: 1. That the above Statement and /Ekhibit No. 1 be made a part hereof'by reference. 2. That public convenience and necessity require that the authority sought should be granted. ORDER THE COMMISSION ORDERS: That Weld County be, and it is hereby authorized, to close an existing highway-rail crossing as located on the north-south section line between Sec. 30, T. 7 N., R. 65 W. and Sec. 25, T. 7 N., R. 66 F7., approxi- mately one mile north of Eaton, Colorado. That, in lieu thereof, a new crossing be constructed, the center line of which shall be located approximately 470 feet northwesterly along the railroad track from the center line of the present crossing. That the distribution_of expense and- the work-to be done ahnll be as outlined in the previous Statement and working agreement. That Weld County provide and install standard reflectorized rail— road advance warning signs and a STOP sign at the entrance to U. S. Highway No. 85. That all protection devices, including reflectorized crossbucks, shall be installed in conformance with the Bulletin of the Association of American Railroads' Joint Committee on Grade Crossing Protection. That continuing maintenance of the crossing and crossbucks shall be by the Union Pacific Railroad Company. — — ---That-this-order-shall-be-taken,_deened_and_-held_to -be a_certi.fia _ __ —4 e • • cats of public convenience and nacesss;,y therefor., and .obs11 become effective forthwith.
