Ok...It may have been a long time ago, but a lot of folks don't remember that the D&RGW was laying new narrow gauge track in 1962. 47 years ago this summer, the Rio Grande was laying a new narrow gauge route around, what is now, Navajo Reservoir. These pictures, from the DPL, were taken by Bob Richardson in June, 1962. Nice new track, only to be taken up a few short years later.
Please note, there is no GREEN boiler jacket in these photos.
