I suggest these tram cars were 2 foot gauge that carried bag-loads of Gilsonite before they were loaded onto flatcars.

Also, I found that wool was the second-only product the URY carried as source of freight revenue for the railroad.
The wool I believe must have come from sheep and goats (or is it just sheep?).

The other pictures on my URY: The Gilsonite Route showed horse-drawn wagons carrying a boiler for the Rangley oil fields and a water tank on the trailer.
