Jim,

I haven't the time to devote to this at the moment, the above effort did wring it out of me so please continue if you want.  

Pinning down the Timeline is difficult, and the reasons behind just which Station "had" vs "had not" ellude me.  I can't find pictures to show a TO Board at Gunnison on the D&RG, nor Chama, nor Durango.  Morrison, Leadville, and D&RG at Lake City, Ouray and Silverton, being end of the line don't show either but one thing I can say is that at one time or another, the DSP&P Depot at Gunnison did indeed have a Banner out front.  I've never seen a picture with it though even though I have or have seen images of the Depot with the Roundhouse in the background, without the RH and later in D&RG days.  

Unlike the "Wynkoop and 19TH" example, this I can be sure of, as this close up examination of the following shows evidence of such.
