This is the 4th day in a row that a K-37 has been used by itself to handle the Crested Butte train. Was the branch upgraded during 1940?

Yes, during the period May-September 1940 work was done on what is called the East River bridge. Restriction for using K-36s and K-37s was lifted at that time.
A K-37 was used as a helper on September 30, 1940, which would be the first use of a K-37 on the Crested Butte branch.
