Hol,
I don’t think this has been posted before. Here is a photo that Louis Zadnichek located at the Rockpile Museum of Campbell County website. It is a photo of Echeta, WY depot taken in 1925. According to the photo, the depot was built in 1907.

Wed Jul 6, 2016 6:09 am (PDT) . Posted by: That's great information -- info I did not know when I wrote my scenario of the 4104 photo and which I'm very glad to have now. Thanks! The Barriger view you posted is indeed Echeta, and I'm posting a cleaned up and lightened version of it, along with a few views to show that the T-2's were based at Gillette as well as Sheridan through the Teens. The Mallet shed was built at Gillette because the turntable there was too short for the T-2s, so they couldn't get into the roundhouse. And the shed ended up outlasting the roundhouse and turntable by many years. Again, thanks for the operating information which pretty well blows my fabricated scenario apart but does offer some other possibilities. And it doesn't diminish the fact that it's a great photo.
