The Silverton Northern (like many of the railroads in the mountains of  
Colorado) was narrow-gauge. The only standard-gauge railroad to go all the way  
from the Plains though the Rockies is/was the Denver & Rio Grande Western  (south 
from Denver to Pueblo, then west through the Royal Gorge ((built out from  
the canyon wall hanging from support rods)) then north through Leadville and  
Tunneling Under Tennessee Pass to get to the Colorado ((formerly called Grand))  
River Valley, then west to Grand Junction.) Later, the D&RGW routed from  
Denver through the Moffatt Tunnel to Granby on the Colorado River then  
connecting to the southern route to go west to Grand Junction and Salt Lake  City.
