Believed to be one of just two surviving examples of a bolted steel bin elevator left in the state (the other one is located just south of Cherokee on Highway 59).

I didn't realize bolted steel bins were that rare. I think I've seen at least a handful of elevators in Illinois that have them. But I haven't seen one as big in diameter as the one by the road in this elevator.
All three railroad "spokes" were Rock Island. The southern spoke is abandoned and the spokes to the north and east are now owned by UP.
