I think the Cumbres Tank came down in 1937 or so. I've seen a pic of Sublette tank. It was on the opposite side of the track from the spout.

It is interesting that heavier rail got placed over Cumbres (1938) before Marshall (1940) dispite heavier traffic. Perhaps Cumbres rail was in worse shape when it was installed in the 1920's.
