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 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.

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.

An SD70MAC and a C44-9W pull the westbound Beer Run toward the grade crossing at 44th Avenue just east of the Colorado Railroad Museum. Once reaching the upper yard in Golden, the train will tie up and the crew will call it a day.
