John, Earl, Roosso et al -
How reliable and abundant is the water supply at Sublette? Since The Friends will soon have six to eight tank cars operational, would it make any sense to provide water (at least for photo charters) at Lava Tank by hauling two or three tank cars of water from Sublette to Lava as part of the usual preparations and re-positioning of equipment prior to special operations on the East End? In addition to the existing m.o.w. tank car, thoroughly cleaning the insides of one or two UTLX cars so that they could be used for boiler water might be a LOT less expensive than rehabilitating / reinstalling a pump and long pipeline at the pump house, and would lessen concerns about security and vandalism as well. OTOH, since the D&RGW never hauled water from Sublette to Lava Tank - at least SFAIK - this would probably be a violation of the SHPO guidelines and result in large fines from the EPA
