Not only is the depot lost, but so is this charter route of the IC.
Andy Zukowski posted Illinois Central Railroad Depot in Lostant, Illinois. 1918 |
I think the grain elevator along the IC was gone by 1939, but the one along the NS/ NYC has grown.

Note the tractor pulling two wagons on the right side of this excerpt. That is why a local elevator is important, not all farmers can afford an 18-wheeler.
