DRG&W remnant along with Durango-Silverton. Apparently there was originally narrow gauge all the way to Denver.

There was. The line to Alamosa was standard gauged, probably before 1900. The narrow gauge remained until the RR was abandoned in 1968.

I remember when the DRG&W ran to Farmington, NM and the tracks were on the north side of the San Juan Hospital, back in 1956.
