Hi Pete,

That makes sense. I know they developed the hot springs as a tourist 
attraction in the 19th century.
400-416 also appear to be Wyoming. 401 is the second bridge crossing the 
Bighorn river south of Thermopolis. It is flipped and looking north.
#11 has a photo of a family, but in the background is a grain elevator 
with Greybull on it - which puts it in Greybull, WY.
#12 and #13 have two different Indian red, two story B&MR depots, but 
the letters are not readable. #12 looks like 5 or letters and #13 is 8 
or so.
