THE WABASH MANSFIELD ILL...1959

NS still operates the east P&E spoke to Champaign, the south Wabash spoke to the Wabash mainline at Bement, and the north Wabash spoke to the NKP/LEW route at Gibson City. NS also still operates the LEW route west of Gibson City through Bloomington to East Peoria.

While studying the satellite image, I noticed a skinny, square building along the connector in the southeast quadrant. It is a grain elevator with a rather different design. Did the flat walls between the silos create additional (small) bins?
