Eric Skretteberg: Was it where the grain silos are now, east side f ttracko

Dennis DeBruler commented on Eric's comment
It was west of the tracks. There used to be a small yard in town, and the grain bins are built on what was the yard tracks. 1937-47 aerial photo. (Until this month, Illinois gave the exact year for a photo. Why does software change for the worse?) https://prairie-research.maps.arcgis.com/.../index.html...

Robert Carter: Love the flags! Of course it's an extra.

Mike Bartels: These had to run as a "train" because without hi-rail gear they had no way to get off the track by themselves. There is a mechanism underneath to change direction.
