The Depot has since been moved to the City Park and still exists today.

Michael Donohue: And well preserved in the park. They were still unloading farm implements in the mud 70's.

The leg on the left in the above view feeds a conveyor belt, but the one to the right of it feeds a couple of more bins and a loadout.
