Oh, it's not *that* bad:
D&RG ry 1870-1886
D&RG rr 1886-1908
D&RG RR (consolidated) 1908-1921
D&RGW RR 1921-?? (reorganized, 1947)
And the Utah lines:
D&RGW Ry 1881-1889
RGW RR 1889-1908
rest same as above.
See? easy-peasy.
Not like some of the eastern lines with hordes of little lines consolidated at various times or, better yet, put on leases for 999 years or whatever! Now THOSE are a tangled mess.
