Satellite, my guess based on aerial photos.)

It is pretty easy to see on a satellite map where the tracks came through town.

Not only do the tracks still exist in 1982, but the rectangle just east of Bishop Road that is between the tracks was probably the depot.

I'm trying to decide if the grain elevator that we see in the left background of the photo still exists in 1939.
Since Illinois state has added additional aerial photos, I got a couple more because I don't have a lot of confidence in my guess as to the location of the depot.
