If you are here because of "Northlake, IL: UP/CN&W's Proviso Roundhouse, Yard, and Freight House," they you need to go
there.
Dick Bowman commented on a
post: "We have a very similar elevator on the former Wabash RR, now NS, here in Boody, IL. It was erected about 1903."

The railroad that went west of Boody was the B&O. That route is now abandoned.

Google Maps has the wrong location for the Blackland label. It was haveway between Public Road and Zion Chapel Road rather than at Zion Chapel Road.
There are still quite a few grain bins near the old B&O RoW.
Did the B&O have trackage rights on the Wabash to connect to its branch east of Decatur?
