This town was on the IC Branch of Havana, Rantoul and Eastern Railroad (HR&E). A 1939 topo map shows it going all the way to the Indiana border, but a 1957 topo map shows the branch terminating in Potomac.
Andy Zukowski posted Railroad Depot Potomac, Illinois. Possibly the Illinois Central Railroad 1921 Grayson Warbritton: Definitely IC as that was the only railroad through Potomac. |

On a satellite image, I could not find any remaining ag support industry. That is rather unusual for a town of this size in Illinois.
