This is the PRR depot that was in Bedford Pa.

A little better photo of the station in 1875.
 
It appears that there were three grain elevators west of the depot.

I think the wood elevator in the middle of this facility was the one in the middle of the aerial photo.

I used the verb "was" because this is the later view. It looks like the fertilizer supply part of the co-op might have survived.

But Google Maps labels the co-op as "permanently closed." This view showing a lot of fertilizer spreader equipment is several years old.

Their website lists three other locations. And at least one of them has a modern feed mill. That would explain why this one was torn down.

This map shows an industrial spur that used to serve the southern grain elevator.

The two rectangles east of Richard Street are extant. But neither one of them is a depot.
