	Denver & Rio Grande Western railroad vs Sante fe railway history
		For two railroads to occupy a river valley ordinarily was not a problem, but west of Cañon City was an incredible obstacle - an obstacle that would result in a war between the railroads.
		The railroads went to court with each trying to establish their primacy to the right of way.
		A final peace in the war came after the intervention of the Federal courts, and the railroad "robber baron" Jay Gould who loaned the D&RG $400,000 and announced the intention to complete a rail line in competition to the Santa Fe from St. Louis to Pueblo.

	Nomad car of the Denver & Rio Grande Railroad
		As Lucius Beebe writes, "Two narrow gauge railroads, the Rio Grande and the South Park, raced for Leadville when that carbonate citadel was at the heights of its boom.
		The Rio Grande, which was already in operation up the canyon of the Arkansas [River], got there first by the simple expedient of building a five-mile branch connecting with the main line at Malta.
		The owners moved the car to the Durango railroad yard and commissioned one of the finest interior designers in the Southwest, a specialist in Gay Nineties decorations, Robert Klein of Albuquerque, New Mexico, to conduct historic research and restore the interior to its original splendor.

	Railroad History in Utah
		Rio Grande lost control of the Western Pacific in 1916, with the latter railroad company remaining independent until it was merged with the Union Pacific in 1982, giving Union Pacific direct access to the ports of Oakland and San Francisco.
		The Rio Grande gained control of this line in 1898, realigned and rebuilt the worst parts of it, made it standard gauge, and operated the route as its Park City branch until 1946, at which time most of the line was removed.
		Later railroad lines built to serve the region's coal mines included the Kenilworth and Helper Railway, the Southern Utah Railroad, the Utah Railway, and the National Coal Railway, which completed its line in 1925 to serve the newly developed coal mines located in Gordon Creek Canyon.

	Denver & Rio Grande Western RR
		Its president, William Jackson Palmer, had originally organized the Denver & Rio Grande Railway in Colorado, intending to head south to the Mexican silver mines (as the name of the company attested) but was beat out for the southern route through Raton Pass, Colorado, by the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railroad in 1878.
		In the accompanying flurry of litigation and capitalist maneuvering, railroad magnate George Gould, son and heir of the railroad king, Jay Gould, gained ownership of the line.
		In 1920, when the nation's railroads were finally returned to private ownership, the tangled financial status of the Rio Grande was finally unraveled.
