James Holzmeier Must've had a heavy load to bring back, 'cause they kept the Trainmasters close by to Decatur so they could work the hogback-y 10th Dist.Todd Pearson That depot with the gingerbread trim is just awesome!

Great pic all around showing a classy era.Fred Kresse Those diesel had an alco engine, could hear them coming for miles away

It looked like the town had a couple of grain elevators and one of them used a concrete block silo instead of the normal slip-form concrete silo for a commercial elevator. Today you can still see the heritage of two town elevators.
