ISTR seeing reference[1] to a D&RG branch to Tincup, to leave the Crested Butte branch at Almont and go up the Taylor River to Tincup. One of the proposed lines work was stopped on during the last push to Salt Lake City and work never resumed as Palmer lost control. Supposedly about 1\4 mile was completed (graded?) but I could never find any trace of it when I lived in Gunnison. I assume whatever sections were graded, if any, now lie under the county road.
