I used it one time (long story why) to call the Bloomington dispatcher and tell him we'd stopped to check something we noticed running hot in Macoupin Bottoms.

I first looked for a location near the crossing of the two C&A routes. It looks like the junction tower was in the southwest quadrant. The rectangular building on a connector in the southeast quadrant looked promising, but this street view shows that it was not a depot.
And then I noticed a building with two roof lines that was between some tracks at the west end of 1st Street. We can see there was a house track behind the depot in Andy's photo.
