Chicago & NorthWestern RR 444, Alco 4-6-0, built January 1906, was washed by Kai Sokde outside Forney Museum of Transportation, Denver, Colorado, February 18, 2018.

It was pretty tight in there before. Does this mean some of the equipment will now be outside?

Hope they don't get water in the traction motors.

Yes, some equipment has been left outside the Forney Museum including wood passenger car CB&Q 99589 which might move to Calhan, CO. DRGW caboose 01447 was left outside.

C&NW 444 was used for opening ceremonies at BHCRR but never operated there. The last time I saw it was at the old Forney Museum and the main rods were still cabled to the top of the tender from being moved there.
