It is extant, but I can't determine its current use. It looks like storage for someone. https://maps.app.goo.gl/8shuQdQ59Qsn8xoM9

Must be sitting there since this is after they shut down and before Iowa Interstate started up. It's MP 122.4 Illinois Div, here's a 1973 track chart

Update: Glenn's comment confirms that it is now used for storage.

Dave Degroot posted three photos with the comment:

Seen this over the weekend.

Now Iowa Interstate runs these tracks.

Rock Island logo still hanging in there.

Glenn Lawson: Last information I heard was a farmer owned it, used for storage and completely gutted on the inside. That was years ago.

The name is protected from blowing wind by the eave, but not the logo.

The topo maps didn't help locate the depot, but this aerial photo did.

It looks like the grain elevator in the background of Andy's photo has grown into a seed sale facility.
