One-way operation

When the system was first opened in 1994, I-25 & Broadway was the southern terminus for the Central Line, at that time built in the lone corridor in the system.[5] Since then, three new corridors have been constructed. I-25 & Broadway Station is becoming a focal point of a new transit-oriented development on the site of the old Gates Rubber Company factory, just south, east and west of the station.

Service of lines

An examination of the public timetables shows that this station is the site of "European style" timed transfer connections during peak periods between southbound C (orange) and H (blue) Line and northbound D (green) Line trains, and after midnight between southbound D and E (purple) Line and miscellaneous northbound trains.

Tracks in this station are laid out in a wye. Trains originating at the yard south of Evans Station and bound for the Southeast Lines bypass I-25 & Broadway platforms, but operate in service from Evans Station. Trains returning to the yard do not operate in service. I-25 & Broadway is the southernmost transfer station for all lines leading north toward the 10th & Osage station.[6]
