The switch at the east end of Parkdale is still active and (fairly well) maintained. When the Royal Gorge Route tourist train exists the west end of the gorge, it pulls up to Parkdale. The crew then moves to the end of the train where an engine is already set, pointed east. The crew climbs onboard and the train departs east back for Canon City.

This shot shows the east end of the siding of Parkdale on Tennessee Pass. This is about as far west as the as you'll see a train still move over the rail of Tennessee Pass. This portion of track is actually owned by the Royal Gorge Route Railroad, and sees a few tourist trains each day.
