Both railroads are now abandoned.
The facility north of US-136 that was along the CB&Q route looks like a normal grain elevator.
The one south of US-136 looks more like a petroleum product tank.
This depot was on the CB&Q tendril that went from Villisca, IA, through Clarinda, Burlington Junction and Mound City to Bigelow, MO. About 17 miles West of here along US-136, Tarkio was on another CB&Q tendril.

| Dennis DeBruler commented on Dean's comment The CB&Q was on the west side of town, so the depot is a couple of blocks west of the baseball field. 1942 Skidmore Quad @ 62,500 https://maps.app.goo.gl/Tf6iG9etPm8qjzMP7 |
