Here's part of a email I received from Kenneth Jessen the author of "Railroads of Northern Colorado":

"The most unusal line was a 2' gauge tram that brought fire clay from the east side of the Devil's Backbone to the west side where there were kilns. There arn't any photographs of this tram unfortunately."

So it appears that there were three different gauge lines in the area. I'll try to get some photos of the operation.
