"The Chili Line rails are long gone and the grade is slowly washing back in to the adobe soil from which it was formed. Built by horses and mules, the D&RGs (Denver & Rio Grande) Chili Line, was unique, in two ways. Originally built to connect Denver to Mexico City, it was to be the first north-south line in the nation, in contrast to other major western railroads, which ran east-west. Also unique, in that it was the first three foot narrow track railroad in the nation, it ran from Antonito, Colorado to Santa Fe, New, Mexico between the years of 1887 and 1941. The Antonito to Tres Piedras run or northern end of the Chili Line began operating in 1881 and ran for 61 years. Primarily, the Chili Line served as a shipping point for loads of livestock, lumber, mail, and some passengers. The little train would bring all sorts of merchandise that Anglo settlers and Pueblo natives found useful. As there were severe water shortages, the train brought potable water from Antonito and San Antonio creek for sale to the community people at the cost of $.25 for a 50 gallon barrel.
