Chris,
The Ranchester Depot is alive and well as a residence just outside of
Sheridan. I believe I have the plans for it. I'll send off list.

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:
http://www.flickr.com/photos/springfieldhomer/4086335243/
I'm pretty sure #13 is Bonneville, WY too.
It looks like the peak of the coaling station is visible beyond the
depot.
