| Remarks & Notes |
| Eastbound San Juan. The Denver & Rio Grande Western's "San Juan New Mexico Express" runs south (railroad east) along the icy Animas River at Tefft, on a cold February afternoon. Before the advent of steam heat in the mid-1930s, passengers on the San Juan would have been huddled near the coal stoves to keep warm. Even on today's Durango & Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad, the coaches are typically heated with individual heater units, although now, they are cleaner, more efficient propane-fired units.
