There is a western titled "Denver and Rio Grande". It is a story about fighting for right of way between the D&RG and the ATSF back in the day. This movie was made in the early 50's and was true to events as they really happened. The Santa Fe did not seem to fare well as to it's business practices,ha,ha.
Entertaining train movie and western.

The other side of the coin: Santa Fe (1951) Randolph Scott, Janis Carter, Jerome Courtland. The D&RGW is the"bad guy" in this one...

From IMDb:

After the Civil War four brothers who fought for the South head west. Yanks are building the Santa Fe Railroad and one of the brothers joins them. The other three still hold their hatred of the North and join up with those trying to stop the railroad's completion. The one brother unsuccessfully tries to keep the other brothers out of trouble but eventually has to join the posse that is after them.
