BNSF 1665 cuts away from BNSF 1826 and heads down in to Coors yard in Golden. BNSF 1826 will follow in a few minute. The two SD40-2 will couple on to either end of DRGW 5401 to transport it the short distance to the Colorado Railroad Museum.

The brakeman from the Golden Switch has realigned the derail at the east end of the upper yard in Golden for the derail position. He is about to put the padlock back on before picking up the FRED from the local and tying up at the yard office.

After spotting a few cars in one of the tracks east of the upper yard in Golden, the engineer on BNSF 1680 has released the independent brake and is starting to throttle up a bit, in order to take the remaining cars in to the yard.

The Golden Local starts pulling across 44th Avenue and in to the upper yard in Golden. The brakeman, see walking to the right, just aligned the derail that protects cars in the yard, and is now walking back. A handful of cars will be spotted on one of the tracks just east of the yard.

One of the great things about this picture is that there is a certain timelessness about it. While it is true the BNSF letting and scheme date the image somewhat, the fact that SD40-2s are still the power of choice for most yard and local jobs, this could just as easily be 1988 as 2018.

The Golden Switch is descending down a gentle grade on BNSF's Golden Sub, across the bridge at MP 14.23. The train is about done with their daily switching and will be tying up in the yard in Golden, parallel to the Coors Brewing Copy, soon.

BNSF's Golden Switch is crossing 44th Avenue and entering BNSF's upper yard in Golden. In Golden, you'll find a lower yard, which is where the cars to and from Coors go, and an upper yard, which is where the cars along the Golden Sub go that are not destined for Coors. BNSF runs a local out of the Golden to switch industries along the line. The cars are then brought back to the upper yard where a train is built to take them to Denver.

The sun catches the Golden Switch at a cool angle as the train passes by a puddle near the entrance to BNSF's upper yard in Golden.

This shot was appropriate for the longest day of the year as it is only in the summer months that the sun is far enough to the north in the evening to light the this side of the train. The train is getting close to the upper yard in Golden.

This is a shot I have wanted to shoot for awhile, but I never seem to be around when a train is inbound...until this day! A pair of SD70MACs approach the bridge at MP 14.23 on BNSF's Golden Sub, headed for the upper yard at Golden.

BNSF's Golden Switch is returning to the upper yard in Golden with two SD70MACs and a dozen cars. The cars have been picked up from industries along the line during the day. The train is just west of Ward Road about two miles away from the yard.
