Roger Holmes posted On a very soggy Sunday afternoon, May 17, 2020, Norfolk Southern 911 leads a Bloomington IL bound train by the grain elevator in Carlock, Illinois. Dennis DeBruler shared It appears this old elevator is still being used. |
Dennis DeBruler commented on Roger's post https://www.google.com/.../data=!3m6!1e1!3m4... The railroad was the Lake Erie & Western part of the Nickle Plate. |

...while the elevator in the next west of here has become rather big considering it doesn't have any rail service. I wonder what all of the bins in the lower-left corner are for.

Given all of the small bins in the middle of this view, I'd say this elevator includes a feed mill.
