By 1971, C&NW owned the railroad.

By 1939, there were two wood grain elevators.

The elevator has grown and reused much of the railroad property. I wonder if the long building is for storing grain or fertilizer.

On their website, they have this photo.

And on Google Maps, I found this photo. But I have not been able to find this facility on a satellite map. It looks like a greenfield elevator. I want to find it to see if it was built next to a railroad.
