By the time of this photo they were running "East" and "West" in concert with the ICC's standards. East was towards Ridgway and West was away from Ridgway - towards Durango. So here we have Westward Train 371 in the hole at Hagen (no 's') for Eastward Train 372.

In this stretch of the railroad East and West make sense. But in and out of Durango ordinal and timetable directions were totally backwards. North-South was always a better reference for the RGS but the Gummint knew better.
