RE: [CBQ] Cheyenne old depot

Richard,

I went as I expected and found 5 photos (which I expect to recieve in about a week).  I did get another postcard  that shows the NW corner very nicely.  I suppose I need to get the Sanborn foot print plans, develop a scale to where I can enlarge them to HO and then start drawing plans I do this manually at a draftmans table.  I'll scan what I have when it all gets here.  Also will digitize the plans and sent them to you also.

Harold,

 

How did the visit to the archives go? Did you find any good photos?

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.
