Original Elevator: (Satellite)
Today's Elevator: (Satellite, I'm surprised that ADM is operating such an isolated elevator in terms of Interstate highways and railroads. I wonder to where they haul the grain.)
Three street view drivers went on IL-48, but none of them went into the town. Judging from a satellite image, the expansions of the elevator used several different grain storage technologies.

| Larry Foht posted Illinois Central Railroad Depot Weldon Illinois On The Route from Champaign to Havana [CH&W/Havana, Lincoln & Champaign Railroad] Larry Foht collection : [Complete with milk cans and grain elevator.] Brad Craig: See the Way Bills box by the door? It's been in my "collection" for over 50 years. Family friends lived in Monticello. Glad now during a visit in 1974-75 my friend and I drove around the area taking pictures of depots and everything else that was laying around rusting and rotting. A few of those depots were being manned by a traveling agent. I respected that and only took pictures of them. Most, were already abandoned and inside ransacked.So, I went in and helped myself to what ever "goodies" the" vandals" hadn't destroyed. If I wouldn't have, someone else would or it would have been trashed when they demolished them a few years later. Jim Kelling shared Weldon Illinois (Illinois Central station) |

| Dennis DeBruler commented on Larry's post I'm glad the grain elevator is in the frame. That gives me some confidence that the depot was north of the tracks and a little west of Walnut Street. The expansion of the grain elevator has reused the depot's land. 1941 aerial photo |
