The Denver & Rio Grande Western Railroad took delivery of its first ten "Mountains" (road numbers 1501 through 1510) from the American Locomotive Company in 1922. These Class M-67 locomotives had 28 x 30 cylinders, 63" drivers, a boiler pressure of 210 psi, a tractive effort of 66,640 lbs and a weight of 377,000 pounds.

Ten more "Mountains" (road numbers 1511 through 1520) came in 1923. They were designated Class M-78 and were equipped with boosters which increased their tractive effort to 78,967 pounds. They were identical to the Class M-67 locomotives except for the boosters and an increase in total weight of 7,200 pounds. A second batch of ten Class M-67s (road numbers 1521 through 1530) came from ALCO in 1923 and were similar to the 1922 Class M-67s except for an increase of 1,600 lbs in total weight.

A final ten (road numbers 1600 through 1609) came from the Baldwin Locomotive Works in 1926 and were designated as Class M-75. These M-75s had three 25" dia. x 30" stroke cylinders, 67" dia. drivers, a boiler pressure of 210 psi, a tractive effort of 74,970 lbs and weighed 419,300 pounds. All forty of these D&RGW "Mountains" were dismantled between 1948 and 1955.
