In 1931, the D&RGW acquired the Denver & Salt Lake Western Railroad, a subsidiary of the Denver & Salt Lake Railroad which had acquired the rights to build a 40 - mile connection between the two railroads. After years of negotiations the D&RGW gained trackage rights on the D&SL from Denver to the new cutoff. In 1932, the D&RGW began construction of the Dotsero Cutoff east of Glenwood Springs on the Colorado River. Construction was completed in 1934, giving Denver a direct transcontinental link to the west. In 1947, the D&RGW merged with the D&SL, gaining control of the "Moffat Road" through the "Moffat Tunnel". | | | SERIES: | 66000 - 67499 | BUILT: | Mid 1910's | TRUCKS: | Roller Bearing | REGION: | Denver - West USA | ERA: | 1970's | |
