It appears the slab foundation of the depot is extant, https://maps.app.goo.gl/UYdGygmmKTcM5ssF6.
Jamie Bates: Dennis DeBruler correct. That was the depot.


The depot's foundation on the right and the town's grain elevator on the left.

This taught me where to look. The platform is the white stripe between the tracks and the depot.

The elevator certainly has a lot of storage. The Kent sign makes me wonder if they are also a feed mill.

It looked like there may be a wood elevator behind the remaining silos, so I found a better view of it.

It is not rail served. They tore down most of the silos after building the bins.
