M&SL = Minneapolis & St. Louis. It was bought by C&NW in 1960.
M&SL is the north/south route through town. According to the 2004 SPV Map, C&NW abandoned the "spoke" to the south. The other three spokes are now owned by UP.
We are looking east along the C&NW.

I wonder about the purpose of the wood structure that was built on top of the one-story building.

Most of the grain from the local farmers would be delivered here.

Since the plant handles both hoppers and tankers, it probably produces ethanol or biodiesel or both. [ldc] I noticed two blue locomotives, so LDC evidently has their own locomotives for loading the trains.

I thought just four silos was a rather low number until I saw that the jump-form silos are big.
