Auburn, IL: GM&O Depot

The purpose of the posting is more to save the link to the Sangamon Valley Collection album than the depot itself. But the depot does have train order signals by the bay window for the agent's desk, an extended freight/package/baggage handling facility, and team/house tracks.

Flickr from album.

This 1939 aerial photo agrees with that location.
