Wow! Thanks for the photo of the "D&RG" depot at Dillon (and Jimmy said there wasn't one there!).

I'm curious, how are you accessing Summit County photos? I can't seem to find the link for online photos.

And I'll concede that the Silver Plume depot indeed had a TOB:


Abbott, et al, Colorado Central Railroad


Last night I found my 1904 Clear Creek District Timetable.  Open depots with likely TOBs included:
Argo
Golden
Forks --> Blackhawk --> Central City
Idaho Springs
Empire
Georgetown
Silver Plume


The 1922 Employees Timetable (June 5, 1922) shows that open stations were:
Arvada
Golden
Forks --> Blackhawk --> Central City
Idaho Springs
Georgetown
Silver Plume

In June, 1922, the only open depots on the South Park division were:
Sheridan Junction
Pine Grove
Jefferson
Como --> Fairplay --> Alma
Breckenridge
Dillon
Leadville

All the other South Park stations listed in my post above had been closed. Presumably the TOBs had been removed or left to fall off the buildings by there own devices.
