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.
