Dennis DeBruler Given the word "Shortlines" in the group title, it is worth noting that this town still has both of its railroads because Bloomer Lines operates the former IC route and the new TP&W operates the former TP&W route.

Not only does this illustrate that a grain elevator was generally the other major building built in a new town, this grain elevator appears to be still standing!

That town goes on the field trip list to get photos of the elevator.
