Given the comment above about "another," I went looking for some others. That depot was big. Was this a division headquarters? And we see a backshop in the background of the photos.

Believe Trent Briggs enhanced this one. Nice shot of depot and shops. Horton Kansas

A lot of the tracks were gone by 1961.
