The buildings in the background in the depot photo caught my eye. It turns out it is a huge rice mill.

The depot was on Harrison Street southeast of the tracks and west of Grand.

This aerial photo verifies the topo map correctly marked the location of the depot.

The depot would have been where these trucks are parked. Note that the buildings in the background of this view match the buildings in the background of the photo.
