This town was on the southern branch of the Kankakee & SouthWest (K&SW).
The grain elevator has gone through various stages of expansion.
The grain elevator grew significantly, but the town hasn't grown much.

This route was abandoned by ICG. It went between Otto Tower, which is south of Kankakee, and Bloomington, IL. It has also been abandoned by the Bloomer Line. It is the route highlighted by the green line on this map.
