The narrow gauge (36") Rio Grande & Southwestern Railroad was built by the New Mexico Lumber Company from the D&RGW line to El Vado, about 5 miles. It operated from 1903 to 1924, and was one of the many logging railroads in New Mexico.
America's railroads built 31 crossings over the Divide, of which 10 other crossings remain in use.
