Sublette, New Mexico

Sublette is a railroad ghost town in northern Rio Arriba County, New Mexico, United States, built as a section station in 1880.

It is located north-east of Chama, just south of the Colorado state line and at milepost 306.1 of the former Denver and Rio Grande Western Railroad.

When the Denver and Rio Grande abandoned its narrow gauge lines in the late 1960s, two parts of the system were preserved independently: the Cumbres & Toltec Scenic Railroad from Antonito to Chama, including Sublette itself, and the Durango and Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad.

The Denver and Rio Grande Railroad established Sublette in 1880 as a construction camp on its narrow gauge San Juan Branch.

The Friends of the Cumbres & Toltec maintain the remaining structures in the interests of historic preservation.
