Sounds right to me, Charlie -
I drove from Antonito to Denver via Salida about 1½ years ago, and although the highway has been widened a lot in recent years there are still several places where the old RR right-of-way is visible. The background in the photo looks similar to the gulch (English for arroyo) between Salida and Mears Jct. Also, the text describing the linked photo does say "AN arroyo", not "Arroyo"
. . .
Here's the only photo to which I have easy access that shows the D&RG(W) in that neck of the woods; the country is pretty similar - dry and craggy
