Unissued Preferred Stock. Large train in tunnel vignette by New York Bank Note Co. Superb! Mint Condition. The Denver and Salt Lake Railway (D&SL) was a railroad company based in Colorado, United States. It was initially established in 1902 under the name Denver, Northwestern and Pacific (DN&P) Railway, with the objective of creating a direct rail link between Denver, Colorado, and Salt Lake City, Utah. Throughout its financially unstable existence, the company experienced several reorganizations. By the time it was acquired in 1931 by the Denver and Rio Grande Western Railroad (D&RGW or Rio Grande), its operations had only reached Craig, Colorado. Following the acquisition, the railway line was integrated into the D&RGW mainline, and the eastern segment was utilized to provide the D&RGW with a more efficient route to Denver. The sections of the railway that remain operational today are referred to as the Moffat Tunnel Subdivision, part of the Central Corridor of the Union Pacific Railroad. Additionally, Amtrak’s California Zephyr service, which runs from Denver to Glenwood Springs, largely follows the historic route of the D&SL.
