This is on the UP/C&NW route that leaves the mainline in Nelson and heads south to St. Louis.

| Dennis DeBruler commented on Roger's share It looks like the depot was on the east side of the tracks between Elm and Princeton. https://clearinghouse.isgs.illinois.edu/webdocs/ilhap/county/data/bureau/flight5/00rr3b117.jpg |

It not only had its roof a few years earlier, it still had a leg.

| Dennis DeBruler commented on Wesley's post The elevator across the road also has quite a bit of character, https://maps.app.goo.gl/4aBmqAnoHWcby5w8A. I see you have already documented that one: https://www.facebook.com/groups/905561212844710/posts/7717298795004217/ |

| Dennis DeBruler commented on Wesley's post According to street view, it had lost its roof by 2013, but the one older view that is available does have an intact roof, https://maps.app.goo.gl/NoLpmLujwgTiz4RU6. |
There is a modern elevator a little further north.

I was surprised that it was double-tracked. But I confirmed that the second track is just a siding. If I had looked to the south, I would have gotten quicker confirmation. Why don't they end the siding north of town instead of south of it? That would eliminate the maintenance of two road crossings.
