This is now one of those Illinois railroad towns that have more grain silos than houses. https://maps.app.goo.gl/RNrYfNH7LFbsaaycA 1940 Aerial Photo

I think this is the biggest collection of bolted-steel silos that I have seen. Normally, you see just a couple along with some concrete silos and steel bins.
