Thanks Mick, been peeking through there for quite a while now, far too much inspiration!
I’m mostly researching what diesels would have been around Alamosa ( I haven’t found a wandering ‘F’ unit just yet), I’m huge into that juxtaposition of NG steam and STD gauge diesels. GP9 for definite, and I think an Alco S2 on the list now to replicate #110. The Overland version looks pretty reasonable.

Pish, rule #1, your train set so run what you like.
I find it inconceivable that F units did not run to Alamosa, so much so that I wouldn't even begin to try to look for justification. As far as I know they ran system wide, so as to not run to Alamosa, unless there was a weight or gauge restriction seems odd.
Anyway, a quick search to appease your accuracy anorak reveals thus.

Between Baldy and heading toward Alamosa and just over the county line by my reckoning.

I also found this interesting detail around the back of the Alamosa machine shop, I think this is switch #99 on the track plan I sent you a while back.

This page gives a bit more detail for standard gauge engines seen at Alamosa but no mention of diesels.
