The F&CC and Rio Grande had a lot of dual-guage trackage in the Florence area. Narrow gauge cars could be handled on the Rio Grande coal branches to Coal Creek, Rockvale, Williamsburg and Chandler then taken directly to the Cripple Creek District. District bound coal helped keep the F&CC main line going after the two standard gauge railroads entered the district.
