[CBQ] WHO built CB&Q depots?

[Gerald Edgar <vje68@hotmail.com>]

I never really considered the question, assuming that except for elaborate 
stone/brick/concrete depots in more populated areas, the small local wood ones 
were built by the Burlington's  B&B forces.   However an old local newspaper 
Mike Avitt (Iowa Q enthusiast) rummaged thru had the following:  (Feb 8, 1906)  
Re: Grant City, MO   "Grant City's new depot is completed and has been received 
from the contractors, Mssr's Killingsworth & Wittmer.  Burlington inspectors 
pronounced it one of the bestbuilts and best finished depots on the line."
