Oakford, IL: Lost/C&IM/CP&StL Depot

(Satellite, an existing building won't let me drop a pin where I want it. The depot was west of the tracks and just north of Center Street.)

C&IM = Chicago & Illinois Midland

CP&StL = Chicago, Peoria & St. Louis

[Comments point out that the rear wheel of the tender and the legs of the guy kneeling are missing. AI generation would also explain why the water tower has windows.]
