I'm glad that the depot is still standing (https://maps.app.goo.gl/boHGE6kaGRYk27EY7) or, based on this topo map and an aerial photo, I would have concluded that it was just west of MI-66.
1943/44 Ionia Quad @ 62,500

The GTW route is now the Fred Meijer Grand River Valley Trail. The building on the right is the depot. The trail overpass in the center background was built in 2015.

Even when I know the location of the depot, I can't find it on this photo.

I can't decide if the grain elevator is abandoned. It doesn't have a Google Maps label.
