Pete, Broomfield #1 was moved to Zang Spur Park in Broomfield.  #2 served until metal prefab Broomfield #3 was finished.  #3 is now gone.  I wonder if you're thinking of the head-on at Chugwater WY.  Jim Stewart was the agent then.  He told me that he had a sudden urge to do a yard check and thus survived.  The wooden depot was replaced by a metal prefab, though possibly another coach served in the interim.  Norm

Norm et al...I presume Depot #2 was the replacement for the depot destroyed by the disastrous "head on" in about 1958 or so...caused by the outcome of a crew whose proper actions were  overcome by the "intimidation factor"....  further commentary "on request"

Pete, it's not unique, but rather unusual.  The Colorado & Southern depot #2 at Broomfield CO also was a CS coach with a train-order signal   Norm Metcalf, Boulder Colorado

Great picture Hol...I've never seen a coach used as a temporary depot equipped with a train order signal....This is indeed unique

Also shows the day to day activity of boxcars being unloaded....by hand...on the team track.   Brings back some of my own memories of seeing the same kind of activity at Rock Port with coal, gravel and sand being hand shoveled out of gondolas into the drayman's truck as well as 40 foot boxcars of lumber being unloaded  "board by board" for transport "uptown" to the lumber yards.

Truly a great depiction of railroad activity in the "heyday" of the small town and the branchline railroad.

Here's an image I just acquired that's rather interesting, as it depicts open platform coach 5163 in use as a temporary depot at Ord, Neb., on the branch to Burwell, while the town's original 1884 wooden two-story depot was being remodeled into a single-story structure of brick and stucco in 1927 under AFE 12528.  Neat scene.
