UP/C&NW goes right by the elevator, but it does not appear to be rail served.

| Jerry Krug posted Found this view at Flagg, IL today. Dennis DeBruler I was surprised that Consolidated Grain and Barge owns an elevator that is not rail served. The UP/C&NW mainline runs right past it. The two CGB elevators that I'm familiar with are in Olney and near Mt. Vernon, IN. In Olney, CGB loads unit trains even though it appears that CSX has to help them and the entire town is filled with hoppers while a train is being loaded. http://industrialscenery.blogspot.com/.../cgb-shortline... In Mt. Vernon, they obviously load barges. https://www.google.com/.../data=!3m1!1e3!4m5!3m4... But when I looked some more, I did see that CGB operates some truck-only elevators. |
Note the container train passing through town in the background.
