Found this one on the interweb but couldn't pass it up. It is in Shamrock, TX on U.S. 66.

The original full structure back in the 20s

There is a Rock Island sign on the door on the right. That was probably the freight door.

  1. There is also a FWD&SP (Burlington) depot located on the northwest side of Shamrock. It's a home now.
