An Innovative Facility

The Commuter Rail Facility (CRMF) is located at 5151 Fox St. in Denver’s Globeville neighborhood, just north of I-70 and west of I-25. The facility sits on 30 acres and is 230,000 square feet. Approximately 240 mechanics, operators and other staff work out of this state-of-the-art, LEED Gold certified building to deliver safe and reliable service to passengers.

The innovative design of the Commuter Rail Facility facilitates daily routine maintenance. There are six tracks that run through the building on trestles with mechanic bays under the rail to allow easy access for worker to perform daily routine maintenance checks.

The floor level provides access to the interior of the cars for repairs, cleaning and maintenance. The mezzanine level gives access to the roof of the cars for maintenance of the pantograph – the extendable arm that makes contact with the overhead wire, as well as the heating and air conditioning units.
