Here is the original depot and order board before demolition by train in 1958.

Marty Bernard found the signal base today.

I found the base, but not the sign: https://maps.app.goo.gl/2spySa6BwUyaY4G19. This 1947 aerial shows that the town used to have two wood grain elevators. I don't think of Wyoming as farming country. [AR1CM0000130091]

Post crash with the order board and mast i have.

Further west, there was a third wood grain elevator. And it still stands! Furthermore, that elevator has seen significant expansion.

The grain elevator in the town of Chugwater, Wyoming. 
No Rail Service but none? But the BNSF Railroads Front Range Sub runs through town.
