Greetings Jim,

Thanks for the suggestions.
Of course steam locos on the Joint Line had access to AT&SF, C&S (Denver) and D&RGW water.

Any date on the photo. The RS3 cut in between the FTs provides some broad clue.

Ross Grenard in the "C&S, A  Personal Memory of the Standard Gague,"- Andover (1987) suggests three water stops were made by the C&S 2-10-2s from Denver to the divide.
Some locations were probably more convenient for the crews than others.  ??

Here is a partial answer from minimal photo evidence. Since Palmer lake was created as a source of water for locomotives, obviously water facilities were established there (see attached Paul Garde photo).  According to Robert Waltz' "The Joint Line: 1880-1995", Santa Fe had water facilities at: Pueblo, Pinon, Fountain, Colorado Springs, Pring, Larkspur, Sedalia and Struby (near modern day Englewood-Littleton), and Rice Yard (C&S terminal in Denver).  The Rio Grande had tanks at Pueblo, Pinon, Fountain, Colorado Springs,  Palmer Lake, Castle Rock, Louviers and Burnham (Denver).  Most of these facilities remained in service until the retirement of steam in the mid-1950s. As to actual operations and use of said tanks, Joint line time tables or special instructions for the period in question would probably provide some insights. Jim Sandrin
