Chris,
You must own one of the last photos of the Bonneville Depot before it was
torn down! I used to stop at the depot and get a soda while deer hunting.
Later became a model railroader and wanted to build the depot as a model. I
went back to photograph the depot, but alas it was gone. I was skunked on
research until I recieved a rescued copy of depot plans of all of the CB&Q
depots, was able to complete the model. I have since digitized these plans,
but only allow those who want a depot or two to have copied, NO I WANT THEM
ALL!!!! or I WANT 36!!!! By the way I have also modeled the Lysite Depot 20
miles east. I model this portion of the Q then have a mythical narrow gauge
into the Owl Creek Mountains, where Copper was mined along with Gold,
Silver, and other minerals. My uncle had a Mica mine up in the Owl Creek
Mtns, remember him bringing down a pick up bed loaded with sheets 6" thick
and as large as the bed and putting them on the CB&Q in Thermopolis to be
shipped to his buyer.

Makes sense. After finding this 1978 photo of the Bonneville depot on
Flickr:

I'm pretty sure #13 is Bonneville, WY too.
It looks like the peak of the coaling station is visible beyond the depot.

Rather than post it to the spreadsheet, I'm going to ask about this one
because I'm not at all sure about it:
Could #385 be Bonneville, Wyoming? By the 1930s the Ogle steel coaling
station there had been sold to the C&S and relocated, and most of the
roundhouse was gone, since the Casper Division was by that time 100%
oil-burning -- like the O-2-B shown in this photo. The surroundings look
right for Bonneville, but I'm not at all certain about it, so thought I see
if anyone else has an opinion one way or the other. Attached is a flipped
and lightened copy of the image.

Hi, folks...
Chris had a great idea, and to keep Bob from getting slammed, can
everyone who
IDs photos put them in Chris' online spreadsheet?

I've just updated most of the K-line photos that Archie and I did, if
others can
go in and update ones that they've done (and anything new) we can get a
nice
comprehensive list with everyone's participation... Kinda like a CB&Q
railroad
wiki... :)
If you have problems using it, just post to the list, I'm sure one of us
can
help out...
Cheers!
