The photo is from Historic Images, so it's likely it is available elsewhere.

All,

I need some help.  I have the intent to build an HO scale model of the old CB&Q Depot. (Not the one build in 1930-1931 time frame that was art deco/southwest design destroyed in the 1960 time frame.)  This depot  have seen 1 photo of this depot in the UP Depot museum.  I have the following information:

1.      1894 Sanborn sheet 16, shows the building labeled Cheyenne & Burlington Depot

2.      1907 Sanborn  sheet 18 shows the building labeled Burlington & Missouri River RR

3.      1912 Sanborn sheet 18 shows the building labeled Colorado & Southern depot

4.      1923 Sanborn sheet 5 shows the building labeled Chicago Burlington & Quincy RR as the old depot.

5.      The new CB&Q Depot (Art Deco/Southwest style) was built in the same spot and finished in 1931One semi aerial ¼ quarter shot showing the roof lines.  Big clock tower on the corner of 16^th and the Railroad plaza.

I will be going the Wyoming State Archives on the 14 of August. (I cannot figure how to disable my pop-up blocker so I can see their collection on line) But will be in Cheyenne on the above date.

 

So, any plans, photos, or information will be appreciated.  I will share my findings.
