CHRIS, # 387 HAS THAT SAME HILLSIDE SIGN BUT THE MOST INTERESTING
ASPECT OF THE IMAGE WAS THE BURLINGTON ROUTE STENCILED STEP STOOL THEY
ARE USING. I HAVE NEVER SEEN THAT SPECIFIC STENCIL BUT THE ONE I HAVE
HAS BURLINGTON OVER THE OVAL OPENING AND ROUTE UNDER IT. BOTH SEEM TO
BE TWO TONE WITH WHITE TOP AND PULLMAN GREEN BOTTOM. ARCHIE

Hi Harold,
I think Hol nailed it by identifying #243 as Frannie. It has the
small yard on a curve, which can still be seen in Google Satellite
view.
Here is the Basin depot on our friend Mark Brunton's CB&Q in Wyoming
website: http://www.thecbandqinwyoming.com/images/Historical/Basin/basindepot.jpg
It has the lower roof, unlike the the one in #208.
#398 is another interesting one. It looks like Thermopolis where the
tracks cross the Bighorn river. The words on the hill are "Worlds
Largest Mineral Hot Springs."

#396 and #399 are also from Thermopolis, along with the already
identified #391 and #394 .#386, #387, #388. #389 and #390 are
probably there too or nearby.
Take care,

Chris,
Also remember the Mutual Oil Refinery in Cowley and the Empire
Refinery in Thermopolis. A 4 letter name would be Basin I
understand they shipped a lot of turkeys from there. I have seen
only one photo of that depot very old. Tanks would also have been
north of Worland for sulphur But those cars would be weathered with
sulphur yellow

Could #243 be Cody, WY?
There was a Husky oil refinery in Cody explaining all the tank
cars, and it was at the end of a branch, so a 2 stall roundhouse
wouldn't be out of the question. Also, the mountains in the
background are closer than the Bighorns than they are in Greybull,
Lovell, Worland, etc. The curved tracks should give it away, but
they don't really fit the current tracks anywhere in that area.
By the way, #204 is the Worland, WY sugar factory.
The one that has me stumped is #208. It is the same style and color
as the depot in Lovell, but it's obviously not the same as #233. I
can't make out the name. Looks like four letters.

Hol and or group, Image # 243 is a mystery location with several
clues. There is a two stall engine house with a water tank and stock
yards . Also a small yard with at least 4 tracks and most notably a
mile post numbered 459. Appears to be out west and just a few images
past Thermopolis depot and Wind River Canyon I think. Image 115 is
one of the Black Hill depots and # 109 is De Soto depot in
Wisconsin I
believe. Archie
