Claytonville, IL: Wood Grain Elevator and Several Steel Bins

(Satellite)

This is one of those towns that almost has more bins than homes. And the Street View car never visited here. This town is close enough that it demands that I make a field trip to it.

Union Pacific Cissna Park branch in Illinois. Not sure when last used. It’s in rough shape. First shots are in Claytonville, last ones are in Cissna Park.
Bob Ralph: Wow, got 10-15 cars a week out of there from Goodwine on the main line. This was suppose to be built to Peoria when started.

This C&EI branch made it as far as Cissna Park's grain elevator. That elevator should be part of the field trip because it appears to have a rectangular bin at its core and Street View has not gone there yet. In fact I should do all of the elevators along that branch. I saved a satellite image for Goodwine because it has a big, active ground pile.

And Alonza is an example of an Illinois town where only the elevator is left.
