It is obvious that the depot was in the northwest quadrant of Main Street and the tracks.

The signal box behind the CSX truck is where the depot used to be.

The brick building would house the microwave communications equipment. the tower still has three microwave dishes. It looks like they added to the top of the original tower to add the cell phone antennas. That addition is a testament to how things were over engineered in the 20th Century before computer aided design became available.
