[Some comments indicate that the building in the background with a boxcar was a feed mill.]

Wayne DeJaynes posted four photos with the comment: "Griggsville's old Wabash Railroad depot! The last photo is around 1968 and don't remember when other three are from I'm assuming they are much older. The second one looks really old if it's really the the Griggsville depot!"

This map did not mark the location of the depot even though there was room.

Bunge does get rail service.

In addition to some large bins, the elevator has a big ground pile. The hoppers are more evidence of rail service.

It is notable that the downtown is along a road rather than down by the railroad.
