>Multiple cases of copper wire theft are impacting rail service in the Denver metro area. The Regional Transportation District (RTD) said there have been five instances of copper wire being stolen along light rail alignments over the last week. The copper wire is being stolen near track signals, switches, and rail crossings. RTD said most of the thefts have taken place along the R Line, which runs between Peoria Station in Aurora and Lincoln Station in Lone Tree.
