Thank You for the excellent map, Chris -
See [ngdiscussion.net], [ngdiscussion.net] and [ngdiscussion.net] for Ernie Robart's photos of the last two D&RGW trains to make use of the realignment.
The fourth photo on the third series clearly shows the siding on the new line that was located directly west of milepost 405 on the old line as shown on the map.
I presume it was taken from the top of the rather unique water tower at "New Arboles", shown in this photo from about three months earlier:
