I'm here with all the beer

 

Train load full of beer

 I always expect to back a beer truck into the party, but yesterday was sort of next level. 

Looking in the mirror outside the locomotive switcher, they trusted me at the levers to back the Coors train car load 'refer' into position in the yard. 

The bright-red Coors Diesel Switcher No. C988 is a permanent historical fixture at the Colorado Railroad Museum in Golden, Colorado. 

Built originally in 1938, this EMD SW8 locomotive worked the tracks of the nearby Coors plant from 1981 to 2004 before being donated to the museum. 

It was a pleasure to hit the horn to clear the way.
