Atchison, KS: Food Processing and Museum/Sante Fe Freight House

Bunge Milling at Atchison KS
This posting taught me that Bunge processes corn as well as soybeans. And of course the size of the plant got my attention.

Frank Mueseler I worked this section when I was with MoPac RR , at that time it was called Lincoln Grain and they made corn meal.

They still mill corn; they are one of five corn milling locations.

Looking at a UP map, they kept that part of MoPac.

While looking for this facility, I found some other plants that are probably part of the food industry: MGP Ingredients and Bartlett Grain,

Adjacent to the Santa Fe Depot, the Atchison, KS Rail Museum features an outdoor collection of rail cars and is available for exterior viewing throughout the year. Here is a string of former Burlington passenger cars and baggage car seen in 1995.

This building would be a freight house instead of a depot.
