Larry J. Pearlman: The town was supposed to be a ‘utopia on the prairie.’ A very large community for Christian faithful.
It didn’t quite work out that way, but the two railroads built oversized stations just in case it did!
It did have a three reactor nuclear plant from 1973 until 1998.

This topo map showed me where to look.
1960/62 Zion Quad @ 24,000

And this aerial photo confirmed that location. It is interesting that Salem Blvd. used to go under the tracks.
