Generally speaking, the Golden Switch typically has a pair of six-axle units as it does its work throughout the day. However, on this particular Thursday, the switch has a GP39-2 along with an SD40-2. The train is crossing 44th Avenue (which will turn in to 10th Street a few blocks to the east) in Golden.

The Golden Switch pulls in to the upper yard in Golden with a string of cars. Once the train clears the grade crossing, the train will make a reverse move to spot the cars on another track. In another week, shots of the switch at the end of the day will likely not be possible as the sun will already be set with the end of Daylight Savings Time.

This scene might look mighty dangerous at first glance, but in reality it is not. The Golden Switch is making a reverse move (away from the grade crossing) to spot a string of cars. The train just clear the crossing and the conductor waves cars across.

Back in August, the Colorado Railroad Museum moved DRGW 5401 from storage at Coors Brewery to the museum property. When it was moved, it had been patched and held a UP number. The folks at the museum worked quickly and did a fantastic job restoring the number on the engineer's side of the cab, as well as the number boards! So great having 5401 at its forever home to be preserved for years to come.
