Harold,
That excellent photo wasn't mine, it belongs to whomever owns that
Flickr account. It looks like maybe Bruce Fingerhood.
Are there really 36 variations on the 2 story B&MR depot?
I definitely need a Ranchester depot. In my memory, it looks just like
the Lodge Grass depot preserved in Hardin. How many variations were
there between Sheridan and Huntley?

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.
