Abstract: In this study, the Regional Transportation District's (RTD's) light rail tracks were modeled to determine the Rational Method runoff coefficient, C, values corresponding to ballasted tracks. The runoff coefficient for ballasted tracks is significantly larger than the previously tabulated values for railroad yards. The higher runoff coefficient reflects the design of ballasted tracks to drain rainfall as quickly as possible.
