Nashville, IL: Preserved/L&N Depot

Depot: (Satellite)
Elevator: (Satellite)

Note the hopper cars in the left background. They are a reminder that this route is now owned by a short line, Evansville & Western (EVWR). Although one USGS map labels it as Union Pacific and another labels it as Louisville and Nashville Railroad.

The grain elevator has its own little yellow critter to help load the hoppers.

The Nov 2023 view keeps changing on me.

I count 11 railcars in this view. That is a long way from a unit train. But that is EVWR's added value. They are willing to break up a unit train delivered by CSX in Evansville and deliver small cuts to several elevators along their route.
