Mark's photo provides the standard trackside view of a depot, so I took this view to capture the Amtrak sign and several different types of grain elevators and some obvious rail activity.

Feed mill

Across Main Street from the feed mill is an elevator with many generations of growth.

I was trying to figure out if the big rectangle between the traditional wood elevators and the steel silos was also wood. I think it is. Note that the elevator evidently owns its own locomotive. Also note the yellow fall protector on the right side of the above photo. They did not have it in 2012. It looks like there are enough yard tracks here to allow the elevator to load a unit train by itself.

This is as far to the East that the 2021 and 2012 drivers went. The depot is in the far left background.

Looking the other way is the view I used to verify the presence of a fall protector. I noticed that there is another facility further east.

That is a fertilizer facility. The Google Maps label calls it a fertilizer plant. But I doubt if they make fertilizer. I think it is a fertilizer distributor.
