West of Arboles much of the right-of-way has succumbed to the plowing of fields, but there are still traces visible here and there where the r.o.w. cut through the hills, and also a fill or two in the lower areas. Heading west from Allison – a few miles west of Arboles – there is a turn to the south where CO 151 makes a sharp right turn, where a half mile or so south you can see a shallow cut off to the left. There's a right turn near there that leads west to what's left of the once thriving metropolis of Tiffany, where the D&RG(W) had a siding or two. See the long thread starting at [ngdiscussion.net] for a map and further information.
