There was a long thread on this subject this winter. In short, last one to cross was RGS 42 (hauled dead in nov of '53). Under power is less certain, 268 on it's way to be durango switcher ('36) is definite, other possibilites include 268 on it's way to assingment in Gunnison ('40), durango switchers (315, 346, 375) going to/from alamosa shops ('40-'46??),345 on it's way to Durango from Salida in '49, etc.

If I had to guess, I'd bet on sometime during the war.
