When a depot has such a distinctive architecture, it makes it easy to find it if it is still standing.

I found the Amtrak station because of this post.
James Anders posted two images with the comment: "Battle Creek 1903 vs 2025."

[Amtrak runs on former-MC tracks, but GTW and MC evidently shared a route through Battle Creek. DT&M came up from the south and terminated in this city.]
