During the 1970's, a number of these depots still survived in Wisconsin along the river in the early BN years, including Cassville, Ferryville, Cochrane, Pepin, Bay City, Prescott and others, most used for m-o-w. Cochrane was the last one to be a train order office, with a semaphore, lasting into the late 1980's. The only surviving one in WI to my knowledge is Pepin, now located in a park along Highway 35 in that town.

CB&N depots are very distinctive and deserve scratch building.
Most have large overhang high hip roofs and would not be a big deal to build using evergreen drop siding and commercial window and door castings.
I think the old Laverne depot on the east end was built following CB&N plans and there are a couple of that style that survive.
