Admittedly the idea behind the lettering is a little strange. From what I've read in RTD board information packets, the concepts are:A: Airport Line B: Boulder Line G: Gold Line L: Downtown "Loop" Line N: North Metro Line R: Aurora Line W: West Line The first light rail line operated without designation between 30th/Downing and I-25/Broadway from 1994 to 2002. In 2002 the branch to Union Station opened as well as the Littleton extension. The original line was named the "D", while the new Union Station-Littleton line was named the "C". The Southwest line and Nine Mile branch opened in 2006, which resulted in the "E" between Union Station and Lincoln, the "F" between Downtown and Lincoln, the "G" between Nine Mile and Lincoln (now discontinued, soon to be "R"), and the "H" from Downtown to Nine Mile. I'm really not sure why they decided to initially start with C&D. Perhaps they had already envisioned the Airport and Boulder lines? |
