I suggest that you might try to locate a copy of _Official Roster No. 11 of the Denver and Rio Grande Western Railroad System and the Rio Grande Southern Railroad Company_ (whew, what a mouuthful that is!) 1923, reprinted by CRRM in '98. It's got wire information for the whole system including most of the data you've been asking about. I'm not sure if it's still in print but search may pick up a copy somewhere.

Lots of fun data in this one, I'd recommend it as a place to start to anyone trying to get at obscure details. Pretty much has all the lineside info you'd get in an employee tt plus things like details on wyes, stockyards, ice houses, etc, etc.

If you can't find a copy, let me know and I'll try to find the time to type the telagraph info and send it to you. Bit much to subject the whole board to though.
and I type slow so finding a copy of the book is probably a faster way to get the info.
