Well done, Mike, well done!

But . . err . . . you forgot the second period.  After "Depot". Hiding behind the pile of wood or ties. (See second photo from 1936).
They sure liked their periods back it the 19aughties.

Now Keith will have the perfect lettering set for the Freight House.


It looks to me that the sign was only on the depot end of the freight house, not the roundhouse end, judging from this early 1920s photo:



Derrell Poole Collection, in Narrow Gauge Pictorial Volume VIII


Looks like a small square window on the attic gable of the round house end of the freight house. And the two little cupola vents and the ladders make a nice detailing touch as well.

Wait a minute, Keith, is this the same building??
