I was going to skip this town until I noticed that the town developed about a half-mile west of the depot instead of around the depot. That is very unusual.

The town hasn't grown, but the grain elevator has grown a lot. That is not unusual. This is another example of an elevator that is so close, yet so far from the railroad because it is a Class I railroad (UP).

I wonder what the crane is building on the other side of the trees.

It is interesting that they skipped the concrete silo generation of growth and that they have a bunch of small bins.
