We see the depot on the right, the freight house left of center and a rail-served grain elevator on the left.
Note the wood elevator on the left and the fertilizer supply in the middle.

This town was on the Wabash route between Brunswick and Omaha. Brunswick was on the mainline to Kansas City.

In addition to the CB&Q and Wabash, the Milwaukee Road also used to go through this town. According to a 2004 SPV Map, the Milwaukee Road is now operated by ICE, and the Wabash route to the east is operated by Chillicothe-Brunswick Rail Maintenance Authority (CBRM). The Wabash route to the west and the CB&Q are abandoned.

All three railroads used to cross each other on the east side of town. CBRM uses the CB&Q route (south of the depot) in town and the Wabash route to the east.

Chillicothe was on the CB&Q mainline between Quincy and Kansas City.
The grain elevator is also a rather big feed mill. I think this may be the first 18-wheel feed truck that I have seen. They are normally various sizes of a straight truck.
It looks like the feed mill gets rail service. Sometimes losing your Class I railroads is good because that allows shortlines to serve the town.
