Jim Kelling: 1892 Depot is nicely restored today

Found it: https://maps.app.goo.gl/K96B56u1XpYTujY4A. It has been trimmed back, but they did save the heart of the station, https://maps.app.goo.gl/EQEDxKpodFqFS1HN8.

[The long building by the tracks is still standing and now directly receives railcars at the north end.]

Toledo and Ohio Central railroad shops in Bucyrus, Ohio.
Scott Trostel I have a set of the 1919 valuation photos of the shops, which were closed out in 1931 and went through several law suits which involved the City of Bucyrus. It ended in 1933 when the Ohio Supreme Court decided against the City of Bucyrus and allowed the shops to remain closed. Then WW II came along and the shops were reopened for training of the USATC shopmen at Bucyrus for rolling stock and Crestline for locomotives, before heading to Europe and the war. Camp Millard, the Army camp is today the Crawford County Fairgrounds.

Built 1894— in Bucyrus, OH.

Dick's post of the smaller building forced me to research deeper.

Evidently Bucyrus has preserved two generations of TOC depots because the building on the left is also labelled a TOC Depot. May 2024 street view, https://maps.app.goo.gl/5R2TbyZCBC7harB96
