Nice catch - your caption matched my thoughts before even reading it.

Judging by the paint scheme, I'd say the depot is now part of the Ford dealership. At least, its being taken care of.

Something tells me that Smokeys Bar and Grill is probably a good spot to stop for beans for the crew.

If I could pick a photo to say "This is why I railfan almost nothing but shortlines" this would be it. They are like a time warp into a bygone era, whether by the equipment they operate or the towns through which they travel.

Playing with Google maps found it to be used by Conroy Motor Corp "NYS Oldest Ford Dealer" in conjunction with that white and blue building just past it in the photo. Cars up on grass bank seem in Maps satellite photo to be display area which extends back to our left. Are fuel storage tanks and another building behind the complex. Would make nice trackside scene on a model railroad layout.
Searching for Java Centre also found a Javits Center exhibition hall in New York City.
I guess that even when railfanning spelling counts.

"FS", you're not quite as far off as it may seem, as the Javits Center ( a major exhibition facility ) in Manhattan does have a spur going into its basement.
