Sublette, New Mexico, MP 306.06, is a track crew living quarters that is preserved by the Friends of the Cumbres & Toltec Scenic Railroad. 2012 operating season. Footage is trains led by K-36 #488 on the fireman side and #484 on the engineer side. Both are being watered in Sublette. Both trains are Chama bound. The water tank was replaced by the cistern and standpipe now in use here. Opening shot is on top of the cistern, a dirt mound beside the standpipe. The Sublette paint scheme is one used on all structures, before the D&RGW yellow we see today on stations, water tanks and other former D&RGW buildings. 02:51 See the dark green of the boiler jacket while 488 is being watered? Every model of D&RGW engines seems painted black, sometimes the flashy prototype rarity bumblebee scheme. Prototype is dark green.
