I was checking that out some years ago and one of the unanswered questions was whether there was a physical connection between the DRG and the UN at Ogden. Many years ago when I was working for the SP at Houston the lines I worked over had been built to three different gauges: the HE&WT (Rabbit) wad been 3', the line to San Antonio standard, and the H&TC broad gauge.
