SUBJECT: Two Applications to the Public Utilities Commission— Railroad
Crossing Improvements
Commissioners,
Attached are two applications to the l'ublic Utilities Commission(PUC) for approval to make specified safety
changes to two railroad crossings on Weld County roads. Any work to such crossings must be approved by the
PUC, after application submitted by the County's attorney representative.
The first PUC application relates to a Union Pacific Railroad (UPRR) crossing located on WCR 29 just to the
east of Highway 85. The application is for an order authorizing the County to install specified safety
improvements this summer: automatic railroad gates with flashing lights, bells, and cross bucks on each side of
the railroad crossing. The improvements are estimated to cost $240,660, which is funded Wentirely by CDOT
grant. After approval by the PUC, the Board will be presented with an intergovernmental agreement reflecting
the grant requirements.
The second PUC application relates to a Union Pacific Railroad(UPRR) crossing located on WCR 26 just to the
west of Highway 85. The application is for an order authorizing the County to install specified safety
improvements this summer: railroad crossing safety devices (signage and stop bar). The improvements are
estimated to cost approximately $11,000. This work is incidental to the replacement of Bridge 26/25A, and is
funded by per an executed IGA with CDOT for Bridge Replacement Grant Funds. There are some Weld
County matching funds for this project to cover the cost of paving the road and the signing& striping,etc.
The project engineers for the WCR 29 crossing and WCR 26 crossing are Mike Bedell and Richard White,
respectively. Both Mike and Richard have had these applications reviewed by PUC staff for initial review, so it
is not likely that the applications will need to be updated after submittal.
I recommend you authorize me to place these two applications on your New Business Agenda. As always,
please let me know if you have any questions or concerns.

BEFORE THE PUBLIC UTILITIES COMMISSION
OF THE STATE OF COLORADO
IN TI IE MATTER OF THE APPLICATION OF )
WELD COUNTY, COLORADO,FOR AN )
ORDER AUTHORIZING THE INSTALLATION )
OF RAILROAD GATES WITH FLASHING )
LIGHTS, BELLS,CROSSBUCKS AND SIGNAL )
CABINET AT THE WELD COUNTY ROAD 29 )
CROSSING OF THE UNION PACIFIC RAILROAD )
TRACKS(DOT#804346A) )
The Board of County Commissioners,Weld County,Colorado on behalf of the Weld County Department
of Public Works,(hereinafter referred to as"County"),hereby applies to the Colorado Public Utilities
Commission of the State of Colorado(hereinafter referred to as"PUC"), for an order authorizing the
installation of automatic railroad gates with flashing lights,bells,and crossbucks on each roadway
approach,and installation of a railroad signal cabinet at tracks owned by the Union Pacific Railroad
Company(hereinafter referred to as"UPRR"),and crossing Weld County Road 29. This crossing being
further described as DOT#804346A,and UPRR milepost 39.04 of the Greeley Subdivision.
The County presents the following in support of its application:
(I) Application is filed by:
Board of County Commissioners of Weld County,Colorado
On behalf of the Weld County Department of Public Works
1111 H Street
P. O. Box 758
Greeley,CO 80632
(II) The County is a political subdivision of the State of Colorado and is duly authorized to construct,
maintain and operate public roadways in Weld County,Colorado. Offices are located at:
1 150"O"Street
P. O. Box 758
Greeley,CO 80632
(III) The County is not a corporation and is not a partnership.
(IV) The County's representative will be:
Michael Bedell, P.E. Senior Engineer
Weld County Public Works Department
P.O. Box 758
Greeley,CO 80632
Phone:970-304-6496 ext.3 706 Fax: 970-304-6497
Email: mbedell@weld_gov.com
(V) The U. S. Department of Transportation designation of the crossing is#804346A. The crossing
location is further described as UPRR Mile Post 39.04 of the Greeley Subdivision. Weld County
does not use mile posts referencing, all references are by other County Roads or State Highways,
and in this case the crossing is located on \VCR 29 east of State Highway 85. A field diagnostic
review was held on August 8,2013 with attendance by the PUC, UPRR,CDOT,and Weld
County staff. This group determined that active warning devices should be installed to improve
safety and provide advance warning to truck drivers of the limited storage distance between the
track crossing and the WCR 29 intersection with US Highway 85 to the west.
(Vi) WCR 29 currently crosses the mainline tracks of the UPRR at nearly a 90 degree angle.The
crossing is located outside of any city or town, in the unincorporated area of the County.The
nearest town is Gilcrest approximately two miles northeast. A vicinity map showing the
immediate surrounding area is attached to this application as"Exhibit A".
(A) WCR 29 is a two-lane,28 foot wide gravel roadway and will remain the same. Standard
railroad crossbucks and stop signs now protect the crossing. Additionally,WCR 29
intersects with State i Eighway US 85 approximately 32 feet west of the railroad crossing.
The ADT at this location was measured at 118 vehicles per day on 6/8/12,with
approximately 18%trucks. This current ADT is anticipated to grow at an annual rate of
about 5% in the future.
(B) Current total daily train movements along the UPRR track is estimated at 15 total trains.
This train volume is anticipated to remain relatively constant in the future.
(VIi) Statement of Work:
(A) The scope of work includes installation of automatic railroad gates with flashing lights,
bells, and crossbucks on each approach to the crossing. There is no existing traffic signal
at the intersection of WCR 29 and US Highway 85, and no traffic signal is proposed as
part of this application. No interconnection or preemption is part of this application.
(B) The estimated cost of the proposed work by UPRR is$240,660—See Exhibit B.
(C) The construction of this project is currently planned for June through August,2015.
(D) Funding for the UPRR work shall be provided by use of Categorical Section 130 Funds
for the elimination of hazards at existing roadway-railroad at-grade crossings,
administered by CDOT. The decision to utilize Section 130 funding was made by the
diagnostic team at the August 8,2013 site meeting—See Exhibit C.
(E) No profile drawing of the WCR 29 roadway across the UPRR tracks is provided with this
application. There is no roadway or track modification work proposed as part of this
application. The existing track crossing panels are relatively new precast concrete and in
good condition. A schematic diagram of the railroad signal improvements is included in
this application— See Exhibit B.
(VIII) Installation of flashing lights, gates and new cabinet and roadway signing and striping will be in
accordance to the latest editions of the American Railway Engineering and Maintenance-of-way
Association's Signal Manual of Recommended Practices and the Manual of Uniform Traffic
Control Devices for Streets and I Iighway.
(IX) Names and mailing addresses of all persons, adjacent property owners, public utilities,
municipalities, counties, and state that may be interested in or affected by this application
is shown in Exhibit D.
(X) A grade separation at WCR 29 location is not practicable or economically feasible, as this
is a rural crossing with limited train and vehicle traffic, and only limited funds are
available, and the crossing is located too close to State Highway 85.
(XI) The applicant agrees to respond to all questions propounded by the Public Utilities Commission
or its Staff concerning this application. The applicant prefers any hearings be held in the office of
the PUC in Denver, Colorado.
WHEREFORE, the County requests that the Public Utilities Commission of the State of Colorado
authorize funding, as allowed under Colorado Revised Statute 40-29-1 16, section 40-4-106(2)(b), and
further authorize the upgrading of the above described crossing, including the installation, operation and
maintenance of the crossing warning system.
