The Texas Western Railroad runs from Salt Lake City to New Orleans, Saint Louis to Denver, and is comprised of three divisions: Western, Central, and Eastern. This represents trackage rights on three different Railroads: the D&RGW in the Western Division; the Texas and Pacific in the Central Division; and the Santa Fe in the Eastern Division. Our "era" is the steam-diesel transition era, 1944 - 1959. A fourth railroad, the Creede, South Fork & Rio Grande (a wholly owned subsidiary of ZFI) has been contracted by the D&RGW to haul iron ore on the Jasper branch to Alamosa, then on the D&RGW from Alamosa to the steel mill at Pueblo.
