Grain Elevator: (Satellite)

| Andy Zukowski posted View of the B.&O. Railroad Train Depot at Virginia, Illinois which is located in Cass County. 1912 Photo taken by CR Childs Stan L. Maddox: It’s still there, although the exterior has been added onto and it looks quite different on the outside. The north-south Jacksonville & Havana ran left-to-right in this photo, near the grain elevator in the distance. The B&O tracks were pulled late fall and early winter of 1979; they were burning ties by early December. Jacob Hortenstine shared with the comment: "on the Flora Illinois to Beardstown branch" |

| Dennis DeBruler commented on Stan's comment I presume this is the depot, https://maps.app.goo.gl/XCV9WsJ2JimiGoCA9. B&O evidently built a new depot because the one in the photo is north of the tracks, whereas this one was south of the tracks. Nick Menke: Dennis DeBruler it's the Mexican restaurant now right next to rt 125. Used to be called the depot restaurant. |

| Dennis DeBruler commented on Nick's comment Thanks for the correction. I see that they retained the bay window for the agent's office. It makes much more sense that it was right next to Main Street. https://maps.app.goo.gl/7WtmG9tacRM4jq9o7 |
