Wood Elevator: (Satellite)
CB&Q Depot: (Satellite)
While verifying that the two jump-form silos we see in the photo are extant, I noticed that...
...there is also an old wood grain elevator still standing.
GM&O Depot
 |
| Andy Zukowski posted The Gulf, Mobile & Ohio Depot in Whitehall, Illinois. 1972 David Partak: Originally C&A Springfield to Kansas City line, then GM&O, then ICG. Sold to investors forming Chicago, Missouri & Western, then when that folded up, another bunch of investors bought it and named it Gateway Western. And KCS bought that out for entry into Illinois. Then Canadian Pacific & KCS merged. Line has lots of business I hear. Richard Fiedler shared Michael North: An 1890 patented Union switch & signal co. semaphore signal stands in service. Richard Fiedler: Michael North the Alton installed those everywhere and most survived well past the ICG merger. We have a set from Elwood IL. Steven Hooker shared Steven Hooker shared again |
The CB&Q also went through this town.

We can see the track in the photo that angels east just south of the depot.

And the elevator has grown a lot since the above were built. In fact, these would be the jump-form silos that we see in the 1972 photo because the steel bins had not yet been built. That means the depot was south of those silos.

CB&Q Depot

| Dennis DeBruler commented on Andy's post The depot was south of the water tower, so it was on the west side of the CB&Q tracks. Grant Street has been built on the former CB&Q right-of-way. https://maps.app.goo.gl/CvN7fPRqRJyXktPy8 (The GM&O depot was about a block south: https://maps.app.goo.gl/JAN76pzsFLSgMjHDA) 1937 Aerial Photo |
