This was the attractive passenger depot at Nokomis, Illinois on the old St. Louis Division main line, seen from the west. It was still a flag stop for secondary passenger trains between St. Louis and Indianapolis until they finally came off in 1959. Very similar to the replacement passenger depot built at Litchfield prior to the 1904 St. Louis World’s Fair, which the railroad tore down soon after mixed train service on the Old Line ended in 1942. The Nokomis depot stood until the early ‘60s, however. Photo is from the collection of Jeff Dunn. |
The grain elevator has grown considerably considering UP doesn't give it rail service. It looks like UP is still running coal trains in 2024.
When I advanced street view one "notch" to get a better view of the rectangular elevator, the train was gone. So, the above view was not catching cars in storage. It was a train.
I wonder if the tall wood building south of the main elevator is a feed mill. Unfortunately,
Google Maps indicates that it is permanently closed.
This view shows the complexity of the legs.
