Antonito, Co. Scene

Here is a DRGW trainless train photo, which was taken at Antonito, Co. in the late 1960's. This is looking North toward Alamosa. I believe the dual gauge track leading to the left is the wye, which is still in place, but not dual gauge. The tail of the wye in that direction dropped to narrow gauge only and is the line to Chama, NM. The line behind the photographer once continued as narrow gauge to SantaFe, NM. I wonder if that speeder up past the water tower is standard gauge or narrow gauge? The scan is from the Harrison photos in the SVRR Archive.
