Hello Stewart,
The short answer to your question is no.
From the UP Bridge and Building Book, dated January 1, 1886
The additions to Como went as such:
At the Station of Platte Canyon:
Building No. 5 Roundhouse 4 stalls, 1 Story, Block Foundation, Frame Construction 58 1/8 w. 90' long. Moved to Como 1886
(Grant shows no engine or roundhouse)
Como:
Building 15: Roundhouse, tin roof. 1 story Stone Foundation, stone structure 125' w x 62' long.
Addition 4 (?) stalls
in addition, there is a
hand written notation: the addition in Como is marked out and 13 written next to it, that's why the 4 is questionable. It reads: "4 stalls from Platte Canyon" "3 stalls from Dickey" 1886.
Dickey:
Building No. 5: Roundhouse 3 stalls, 1 story, Pl (pile) Foundation, Frame Structure 44 2/3 feet wide 60' long. Taken to Como 1886
Note: this is not the six stall enginehouse later seen in the photographs of Dickey

Hope this confuses the Como issue even more.
