They have two large ground piles.

I was curious if the ground piles were made in response to the corn surplus of 2014. I learned they were made a couple of years earlier.

This town had three railroad "spokes," all of which were owned by Missouri Pacific. Central Kansas Railway (CKRY) had ownership of the east/west route. But they abandoned that route by the time my 2005 SPV Map was published.
