Very well done, Chris. Lots of information in all of the photos presented.

My question , as is yours , is why would the South Park would go to all of the trouble to dismantle a depot , load it onto a train and the proceed to re-assemble it in the Como location ?

The had built depots new in other locations and had just build a new stone roundhouse in Como . Why go cheap and recycle a used depot from another railroad, it just doesn't seem to make much sense. Even with the lower labor costs of the time , to justify the time and energy to do this doesn't seem a major cost benefit to the railway.
