| Dennis DeBruler commented on the post It looks like it was in the northeast quadrant of Hebard and Ann Streets and parallel to the tracks. https://maps.app.goo.gl/pw1Uztnmk1KhkTJ29 1940 aerial, https://clearinghouse.isgs.illinois.edu/webdocs/ilhap/county/data/knox/flight5/atch04020.jpg |
As was typical for 1940, they used a wood elevator and a lot of small bins for grain storage.

As the elevator grew, the bins got larger.

As expected, since BNSF is a Class I railroad, the elevator does not have rail service.
