This is a combination passenger/freight depot that was relocated to be a museum display. It is behind a chainlink fence and one side has trees hiding it and the other side is hidden by a 1908 Steam Locomotive.

Wikipedia

"The MCSA operates a 6.9 mi (11.1 km) line from Camden to an interchange with the Union Pacific Railroad in Moscow, Texas. Although it is legally a common carrier, the line’s traffic consists entirely of outbound plywood, lumber, and other forest products originating from a single industry, the Georgia-Pacific mill in Camden.

Passenger service was finally discontinued in July 1973."
