It would be nice to see this list. 
What is meant by "the Billings area"?

One wonders if it includes such things as the CB&Q Ranchester, WY depot which 
still exists as a private residence about 6 miles south of Sheridan, 21 miles 
from Ranchester!

The Lodge Grass depot now at the Hardin museum (34 miles west of Lodge Grass) 
is interesting as you can go upstairs and see how the agent/operator lived. 
Looking out the trackside upstairs window one wonders what a sight and sound it 
must have been as the stacks of hard working 4-6-2s, 2-8-2s, and 2-10-2s passed 
by just a dozen feet or so outside.
