More progress has been made about the history of the Litchfield Depot. Bill Shippen, Jim Sweetser and Mike Yoakum were able to provide me with more information to make the search easier.
In October 1915, the Southern Pacific Railroad announced that a depot would be constructed at Litchfield. The company hired J.F. Steinman of Colfax as the contractor. The two-story structure would have living quarters on the second floor. The building’s dimensions 40 feet by 105 feet, with a platform 70 feet long. By Christmas it was in operation. In mid-January 1916, the water tower was completed.
It appears the depot closed sometime between the fall of 1953 and the spring of 1954 and probably torn down in 1956.
