Nashville, IL: 1885 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.

Steven Hooker posted three images with the comment: "Nashville Illinois is 51 miles east of St Louis Missouri. It was once a stop on the Louisville & Nashville Railroad. It was built in 1885 as part of the L&N extension into Southern Illinois. It remained open until 1984. It was renovated in 2015 and is now home to the Washington County Historical Society."

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

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.
