The topo map implies that it was north of the tracks and halfway between Sycamore and Eureka Streets. But those rectangles don't look like the depot. Because of the boxcar behind the depot in the top photo, there was a house track on the other side of the depot. Thus I think it was in the southwest quadrant of the tracks and Sycamore rather than the northeast quadrant.
