I have stated this before, and will speak again:
Facilities like Sublette could be rented out as an excursion on the C&TS. Maybe ride the train from Chama or Antonito and deboard at Sublette. After a night or two stay, board the train again and return to the original depot. I realize historic structures are in play, and there are liabilities; but a simple waver and deposit may overcome these issues. Money could be split between the railroad and the Friends to help both parties..
