DENVER (AP) — Union Pacific plans to close a repair facility in Denver and shift more than 200 jobs elsewhere because of the sharp decline in coal demand.

The railroad told workers at its Burnham Shop repair yard this week that the facility will close on Feb. 14.

Union Pacific spokeswoman Calli Hite says the number of coal trains originating in Colorado has declined 80 percent since 2005.

The Omaha, Nebraska-based railroad plans to keep about 90 workers at another Denver facility. The other 210 workers can transfer or accept a severance package.

Hite says other Union Pacific shops in North Platte and South Morrill, Nebraska, and in North Little Rock, Arkansas, will take over the locomotive repairs that had been done in Denver.
