Dozens of Colorado counties and cities are opposing a Utah-based railroad project that would bring as many as 10 two-mile-long oil trains through Denver each day

The line would allow oil drilling operations in northeastern Utah’s Uinta Basin to connect to refineries in Texas and Louisiana. Work on the line could begin next year. Colorado’s Eagle County and several conservation groups sued last month to require a deeper environmental investigation of the project.
