As part of another project (building a database of all Army troops in the 1860 Census) I found a fairly large Pony Express station colocated with the Army camp in Ruby Valley, St. Marys County, Utah Territory (present day Nevada). Thought you might be interested in the list of Station Keepers, Hands, Carriers, and others listed working with the Pony Express. Spelling and occupations are as I read them from the census images.
