MP 26.3 Streator Branch; a few years earlier when it was real busy

As Larry said, it is on the Streator branch.

This is another small Illinois town in which the grain elevator has thrived even though it lost rail service a long time ago.

The grain elevator has reused most of the railroad property.

I could not decide which smudge along the tracks was the depot in the above photo, so I got a photo from a different flight line. This makes it clear that it was probably a little north of Main Street between 4th Street and the tracks.
