I remember days like this in the late 60s.

The town has three grain elevators. And each still has a wood grain elevator part.

After working the Zeeland Farm Services complex outside of town, the Great Lakes Central's ONTN passes by an old grain elevator as it gets back on the move north through Ithaca, Michigan. Powering the train are two EMD SD35's, which were acquired from MRL and patched to enter service.
