If it a porcelain section building it is easily disassembled and moved, but if it a stone, etc. type building moving it might be impossible, because the the cost of jacking it up and how far does someone wanting it moved.

This station has two rooms. each approx. 16X16..He wants to sell it but I think he would give it to you if you tore it down and removed from property..He wants to plow this area up and start farming it..Warren

Removing the porcelain panels from a concrete block station is easy.
Removing porcelain panels from a steel frame station is MUCH harder.
Dismantling a steel frame is NOT for a do it yourselfer.

At last report from the owner, the station has been sold and is no longer at the location. So someone did get it......

Great stuff. Around here they would bulldoze it and sell it for scrap. Dave
