All the trestles and bridges on the Farmington branch were not replaced since the NG conversion, so IIRC they are all wider by a bit and are built to SG weight standards. I've heard people say the D&S main still uses remaining SG ties where the north Durango yard once was, now paralleling narrow gauge ave. but after seeing them myself they definitely do not look 100+ years old and I'm pretty sure they are only there to meet C-DOT railroad grade crossing requirements or something like that.
