Denver, Northwestern & Pacific Railway was a U.S. railroad company incorporated on July 18, 1902 by David H. Moffat, Walter S. Cheesman, William G. Evans, Charles J. Hughes, Jr., George E. Ross-Lewin, S.M. Perry, and Frank P. Gibson. After Denver was passed by the Union Pacific line which passed through Cheyenne, Wyoming, David H. Moffat and his business associates established the Denver, Northwestern and Pacific Railway. It originated in Denver and was planned to terminate in Salt Lake City, Utah, though it went bankrupt before reaching that city. By 1913 it reached Craig in Moffat County, Colorado, along the Colorado-Utah border.
DNW&P was placed in receivership on May 2, 1912 and on April 30, 1913 was reformed as the Denver and Salt Lake Railroad.
