John,
the Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific reached Roswell (Nth Colorado Springs) in Oct 14th 1888 and used trackage rights over the D&RG to Denver. The CRI&P also obtained trackage rights over the UP(KC) line from Limon to Denver 1889.  Further reading of the attributions Tiv Wilkins states that the trackage rights over the D&RG were formerly relinquished in 1928  however the CRI&P had eliminated same from its track record in 1919 due to non-usage.

I am still contemplating a reply to your earlier post but how in heck do you visualise a bay window in one of the Como pictures?
