U.S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Benchmark EL0492 - Waurika, OK - U.S. Benchmarks on Waymarking.com

The disk is very easy to find, as you'll be focusing on the depot's foundation. From the north end of the depot, go to the east side (where the train tracks are) and scan for the disk underneath the three windows you first encounter.
