My Dad worked for Central Soya so I knew they had soybean processing plants in Decatur, IN, and Gibson City, IL, because he would travel there to help assess their value for property taxes. Bunge now owns
the Decatur plant, but I learned that DuPont now owns the Gibson City plant.

Gibson City Switcher
Ran across these slides recently: an Illinois Central EMD SW1 switcher sitting in front of Central Soya in Gibson City, Illinois. (Thanks goes to some fine fellows, including Isaac Fabris
, who helped me pin down the locale.) The locomotive was built for the Illinois Central as number 9022 in June of 1946, and the bell on the hood is splendid. Two images by Richard Koenig; taken on the Bicentennial, July 4th 1976.

"Thick smoke from the blaze could be seen for miles most of the day....Many firefighters were kept busy hauling water to the scene from a pond in the town’s industrial park, an IFF water source and from the city’s water supply." |
