Jonesboro IL: 1876 Library/M&O Depot

Bart Hileman posted

Unlike the open freight platform in Alto Pass, the depot in Jonesboro has a standard closed freight handling area even though it is further south on the M&O route.

The picture in the comment indicates that it has been saved as the town's library.
