The Rocky Mountain Arsenal, now Rocky Mountain Wildlife Refuge, is northeast of Denver. It had several miles of track on its property at one time, and these tracks are identified as Rocky Mountain Railcar and Railroad (RMRR) on the SPV atlas of Colorado and Utah.
These tracks within the arsenal had connections to two mainlines: the Burlington Northern (former CB&Q) to the northwest at Commerce City, and to the Union Pacific to the south near Roydale.
The entire property is fenced, and it appears that all track has been removed from within the fenced area. The BN connection is completely removed, but some of the UP track is still in place to serve other industries between the arsenal property line and the UP main line.
