Today, Keokuk Junction Railway owns this former TP&W route. Since KJRY is a shortline, the grain elevator has rail service even though it is not very big.

It appears that the hopper that is on a siding in this view is in the same position that we see in the above 2004 view. And the vegetation growing on the track to the right of the hopper indicates that this siding has not been used in a while. I see four foundations for bins in the southern cluster. Are they for bins that are to be built or for bins that have been removed.

Google Maps implies that the elevator is owned by CGB, which is a big operator.

But CGB's website implies farmers would have to haul their grain to Ferris, which is also on the KJRW route. So, I'm labeling this elevator as "grainAban."

Although CGB is quoting prices for Burnside.
