Sublette, Colorado

Sublette, Colorado

Sublette station is located at milepost 306 on the Cumbres & Toltec Scenic Railroad (Denver & Rio Grande Western Railroad). It is a section station built in 1880 as part of the San Juan extension, from Antonito, CO to Durango, CO by the D&RG. A section station serves as a base for the crew that maintains the track for the railroad. The buildings on site are a section house for the foreman and his family, two bunkhouses for the section crew, coalbunker, speeder shed and water tower. The Friends of the C&TS maintain the buildings for historic preservation.
