Looking west down the Rock Island's mainline through Atallisa, Iowa. The former depot is on the left.
Wardell Maney: Is track still there. I'm sure IAIS runs it now.
David Sebben: Wardell Maney yes
[I'm glad to see this confirmation about IAIS because a USGS map labels the railroad as Canadian Pacific. I don't think the CP ever owned this route.]

It looks like the feed mill is still operational.

It takes some serious horsepower to knife the fertilizer into the soil.
