I would be fairly certain you are correct with the Farmington Br. on a/c of the low treeless hills and the Truss Bridge. Most of the bridges are still visible on Google Earth/Googlemaps.
My pick is the Loco is facing Durango at the last crossing of the Animas before Farmington. This is the only Bridge on the line that has old oxbow water courses in close proximity which would have the low pile trestle spans.
As these are no longer visible, I guess that the D&RGW later filled them in.
36.804105,-108.050998 are the co-ords
