| Andy Zukowski posted IC southbound at Maroa, IL in November of 1967. Maroa was where the Pennsylvania later Penn Central, then Illinois Terminal, joined up with the IC's Charter Line using trackage rights on the IC south to Decatur, IL. Jim Fleming: I think the elevator office stands here today. |
Jim's comment confirms I was correct about it being the rectangle just north of Main Street on the east side of the tracks.

The two grain elevators south of Main Street have become one large elevator. It includes some classic slip-form silos.

I was not aware that Pennsy had a branch in this area of Illinois, so I investigated further. That branch went Northwest to Peoria.

It used the IC to get through Decatur and then headed east and connected with Pennsy's mainline to St. Louis on the east side of the state at Farrington.
