The Denver and Rio Grande Railroad Class 45 was a class of 2-6-0 "Mogul" Narrow-gauge steam locomotives with a total of 5 examples built by the Baldwin Locomotive Works for the Denver and Rio Grande Railroad and later the Denver and Rio Grande Western Railroad.

All five examples of the Class 45 were given names and straight up given numbers, with No. 150 named "Silverton", No. 151 named "Ruxton", No. 152 named "Durango", No. 153 named "Colonel Greenwood" and No. 154 named "Governor Bent".

They were all eventually withdrawn from revenue service and all five examples of the Class 45 were scrapped. But the boiler of No. 152 "Durango", was sent to the Chama Engine-house.
