Bob Summers posted five photos with the comment: "Peabody, in eastern Marion County Kansas, is our next stop as we continue northeast on the former Santa Fe, now BNSF, mainline. The iron clad was probably repurposed for feed grains after the co-op engaged Chalmers & Borton to built their 300,000 bushel concrete elevator in 1974.  The other concrete elevator is a Tillotson “head house less” design.  Many were built as line houses for Snell Milling mid century.  This one was on the Rock Island line that crossed the Santa Fe at Peabody.  Mid Kansas Co-op shows a capacity of 559,000 bushels in the two elevators plus 270,000 bushels in flat storage in this full service branch location.  Photographed 2020."
