This town has fertilizer supply, but no grain storage. I note that I can't find a grain elevator in the 1939 aerial.

BAYLIS ILL

This is another town that Wabash bypassed in order to improve the grade of their route. (Barry was another.)

 The original Wabash route paralleled Railroad Street through town.

The grain elevator did not survive, but the town does have a bird shop!

The wood grain elevator was replaced by some jump form silo,s and a couple of steel bin complexes further south provided more expansion. Note the fertilizer storage tanks on the right.
