The railroads that served this town were the Santa Fe, CB&Q and Rock Island. Since BNSF got what remains of the Rock Island, it enjoys a monopoly on this town.

I couldn't get Jim's view using street view because a tank train was in the way. But I was able to catch their switcher in action.

This view caught a locomotive parked at the north end of the facility.

Railfans of switchers like grain elevators because they tend to preserve cute little critters. I think they have more than one locomotive because the smokestacks don't match the one in the Apr 2021 view above.

I presume the building in the foreground was a flour mill.

The sign on this headhouse reads Nutrena. I found this elevator while using street view on 3rd Ave. My guess was that this was a feed mill. I was right. But it is more for pets than farms. According to a Google search results, Nutrena makes feed for horses as well as chickens, dogs and cats. It is owned by Cargill. Tractor Supply; Fluegel's Farm Garden and Pet Supply and CountryMax are some of the retailers of their packaged feeds.

It looks like the yellow critter on the left side of the above image that is handling a cut of 10 hopper cars is a front loader.
