One question I've been pondering for a while, which locomotives served on the clear creek branch of the C&S?

I'm trying to figure out where the moguls usually ran. I would think the smaller frame and tighter turn radius would make the 2-6-0's ideal in clear creek canyon, but to date I've only found 2 photos that clearly show a 2-6-0 somewhere along the branch. 2-8-0's appeared to be favored in Clear Creek despite the larger size and longer frame.

Thanks!
