Hello,
Here in Lewistown, Il., the old C.B.&Q. Depot, the paint layers showed at one
time that it had a white body with a dark green trim.

Thanks to Harold and to Johnathan Harris who sent me a floor plan
view.
>From the responses, it looks like the standard 2 story saltbox depot
had a window on the back side for the waiting room (right side as
viewed from the tracks) and one by the center of the building on the
first floor. The second story had a window on the room above the
waiting room and one above the freight room (left side). It also
shows a freight door on the back left side but I don't think the
Mystic S.D depot had this since the building was on pilings and in
the back, the first story was a ways off the ground.
Johnathan also pointed out that the Mystic depot had a light body
color and dark trim circa 1940's as shown in a B&W photo. Earlier
photos and descriptions show the standard red body and green trim.
Does anyone know of another CB&Q color standard that is light body
and dark trim??
Thanks,
Bruce

a side note I will never again offer to do something like this
again. One would not believe the rudeness, failure to follow
instructions, and plain out meaness from people when they are getting
something for free. I apologize for venting my spleen, but I am not
in a very good mood right now after reading the mail I recieved from
this group.
