Wasn't one of the Rice brothers behind the switch to oil? He wanted all of the NG locomotives to be oil burners but was fought on this issue when the cost estimates of building oil facilities at Como and Leadville.
The standard gauge north of Denver were the stomping grounds of oil burners so making the narrow gauge hogs oil burners as well would help with fuel management.
