| Steven Hooker posted The Depot in Midland South Dakota survives and it is being used as a museum. Tracks remain in service as part of the The Rapid City Pierre and Eastern Railroad. |
The topo map accurately depicts the original location of the depot.

| Dennis DeBruler commented on Steve's post This 1952 aerial photo confirms what I saw on a topo map: it was originally just east of Midland Ave extended. In fact, we can still see a land scar of the depot's location: https://maps.app.goo.gl/2L2AUDSCWGhp6UFY6. [AR2466600071273] |

Not only does it have an old fashioned wood grain elevator, it has a wood extension.

An advantage of regional railroads is that they don't insist that a grain elevator can load a unit train in a short amount of time. That is, they are willing to leave a cut of hoppers at the elevator.

They have painted it so many times that paint will no longer adhere. They need $80,000 to replace the siding, windows and other items. [RavellettePublications]
