| Dennis DeBruler commented on Don's first comment No, Belmont was further north on the Southern. That is why there are still tracks going through the town. 1956/1967 Vincennes Quad @ 250,000 Don Wagoner: Dennis DeBruler the original railroad was the C&V from around 1870. |

| Dennis DeBruler commented on Don's second comment Cairo & Vincennes was the route going Southwest from Mt. Carmel to Grayville. But Belmont, IL, is on the Southern route going West from Mt. Carmel to Browns. The C&V route became part of the Big Four, which became part of the NYC. It is now abandoned. The Southern route is now part of Norfolk Southern. Map Link |

The square is properly slanted to parallel the tracks, but it should have been marked with a rectangle.

No street view driver has gone into this town. So I can't get any views of the grain elevator. Even though it is pretty big, the Class I railroad NS doesn't serve it.
