Photo: Cudahy Packing Company Plant & Union Stockyards – Salt Lake City Photo from Photo from University of Utah Marriott Library: https://collections.lib.utah.edu/details?id=994206 Circa mid-1940s. Notice the difference in the heights of the two string of livestock cars at the top of the photo. Maybe the shorter cars are narrow gauge? Bob Chaparro Moderator Railway Bull Shippers Group

The tracks for each string of cars appear to be in the same gauge.
Also, by the time that the photograph was taken (1944-46), the narrow-gauge Rio Grande Western long had been merged wit the Denver & Rio Grande (to create the Denver & Rio Grande Western) and had been standard-gauged.

Bob it looks to me like older wooden cars in front of some newer all steel (ie taller) cars. Doug Harding Youtube: Douglas Harding Iowa Central Railroad

Salt Lake City did not have any narrow gauge at all by the time this photograph was taken.
