Here are some examples of the B&MR versions.

Hol,
 
Your sketch look very much like the style used on the 
CB&N depots.  Does anyone have photos of these?

  When it comes to B&MR (in Neb.) depots, there are two 
  distinctly different styles of the two-story version that was employed when 
  living space for the agent was needed in the depot building.  The first, 
  somewhat smaller version was first built in the 1870s and features a 
  plain peaked roof with no dormers.  The second version, introduced in the 
  1910s (and thus not really a B&MR depot but a CB&Q Lines West 
  structure), is somewhat larger and features one or more roof dormers.  
  Both have rectangular bays on the track side for the operator's desk and 
train 
  order signal.
 
Also, between about 1898 and 1904 the B&MR 
  built depots of a single-story gabled hip roof design (see sketch below) 
  where no agent's quarters were required that were constructed in either brick 
  or frame versions.  The Plattsmouth, Friend and Kearney, Neb., depots are 
  examples of the brick version, while frame ones were erected at -- among 
  others -- Bridgeport and Humboldt, Neb., and Brush, Fort Morgan and Longmont, 
  Colo.

Gene, (I have included the list in this posting 
  as other will be interested)
The Q did not list the depot types by the 
  window arrangements they only list
as Frame, Stone, Brick, Stucco, Terra 
  Cotta, and one and two or three story
all of these are listed as A thru M 
  as types. I have developed a system
that continues on with their system but 
  adds the window type and if the
Freight Room is an addition or contained in 
  the main building. So, with that
in mind here is my system:

Starting 
  with CB&Q system

A - One story frame
B - Two story frame
C - 
  One story brick
D - Two story brick
E - One story brick and stucco
F 
  - Two story brick and stucco
G - One story stone
H - Two story 
  stone
I - One story stone and brick
J - Two story stone and brick
K - 
  One story stucco
L - Two story stucco
M - One story terra cotta
N - 
  Three story brick and stone

I then start with the windows (NOTE: These 
  are for the Salt Box/B&MRR type
depots)

1 - Without dormer
2 
  - With dormer
3 - With both

I then add if the windows are on the 
  front or back

a - Front
b - Back

I then add the number of 
  windows left to right

(1) etc

If there are both types (dormer 
  and w/o dormer) I make those notations

If there is an attached freight 
  room I use

+ - attached with the length
- - No attached freight 
  room

So an example would be: (Antioch Nebraska)

B 3 a (1) (2) 
  (2) b (2) (2) (1) -

This meaning a 2 story frame with both dormers and 
  non-dormers, 3 in number
the left most in the front is a non-dormer window 
  the middle and right most
is a dormer type on the back it has 3 windows 
  with the left most and the
middle being dormer type and the right being a 
  non-dormer type also there is
no freight room attached it is incororated in 
  the main building.

I know this seems complicated but that is my 
  system.

Now with all this one can determine the number of variations 
  my
guesstimations will lead to be very close to the 36 given by Chris 
  earlier.
