This was taken from Colorado Rail Annual No. 24 page 200.If I did the computation correctly for Train 215 it's a 199.8 mile long journey that took (total elapsed time) 9 hrs and 5 minutes for an average sped of 22.1 MPH. Note the flag stops (lower case f).
From the same source, 1949 round trip fares, including taxes, from Alamosa to:
Cumbres $ 4.14
Chama 4.83
Gato 7.48
Durango 10.35
Parlor car seats were an extra .63 each way between Alamosa and the first three and .98 each way to Durango
