I was looking at photos of  the Silica Branch and noticed that the engine always seemed to be facing (forward) west coming out of the branch. My assumption was that the train was run to Waterton, it dropped the caboose, turned on the wye and run in reverse so as the engine would be facing forward towards Waterton. Once back at Waterton the train was wyed, the caboose was picked up and the train proceeded back to Denver; is this a correct assumption.

Just trying to understand C&S operations please comment.
