Yes, since the depot must have been still standing at that time. Early 80s is when the MoPac knocked down most of the depots on that line. I believe it was 1984 when the Eureka depot was demolished.
Early photos show a hotel and eating house just to the west of the depot, which was at the edge of town. The Santa Fe had crossed there, until it was taken out in the 30s. Also early on, the north-south line came into town until it was straightened and the interchange was moved to Durand.
You don’t have a photo or two, do you?
