According to the "Friends" walking tour brochure:
"Standard D&RGW design built about 1907, with a capacity of 50,000 gallons. Unique because it has double waterspouts allowing two locomotives to water at the same time. Water is drawn from the Chama River and pumped to the tank by a pump in the engine house. It underwent major restoration work in 1994-95."
