It's 2015 and classic Rio Grande (well, Denver and Salt Lake) searchlight signal still stands at the east switch of Leyden. It was once explained to me by a member of UP's signal gang that the signal somehow ties in with the grade crossing at 80th Avenue, making it difficult to replace. I have no idea if that information was accurate, but regardless, it is good to find one spot that still has a classic signal standing!
