When we moved into Downers Grove, IL, in 1976, the town had a drug store that still had a soda fountain. The machines on the right under the calendar were used to stir the milk and malt shakes. They were made with real ice cream.

This is one of those towns along US-45 that did not get an exit on I-57.

Such a cute little depot from a long, long time ago ... the ICRR Depot just south of Onarga located in Del Rey, Illinois. Thanks, Skip, for the awesome photo!
Thomas Tomlinson: A little farther to the left (not shown) along trackside was a post with a hanger on it that the train's mail car snagged the outgoing post office mailbag--of course the incoming mail bag was just kicked out the door of the mail car.
Shirley Larry Knilands: Thawville had the pole for the mail bag. Mail sent and received 2 times a day.

Note that there were two bunches of bins west of 550 East Road.

The depot was east of the tracks, and the grain elevator was on the west side. 1940 aerial photo

The grain elevator did grow in its original location.

Street View, Oct 2007

But the elevator finally bought some land on the north side of the town so that it could grow some more. This is one of several locations owned by Ludlow Co-Op. They would not haul the grain to Ludlow because they have bigger, rail-served, elevators that are closer.

I checked out the grain elevator in the background of Brian's photo.

This is another view of the fall protector, and it is another example of an elevator that is lucky enough to be on a shortline railroad so that it can get rail service. It also shows that grain trailers are old enough to be on the used market so that farmers can now afford to have their own 18-wheelers.

I wasn't able to determine which rectangle along the Reading was the depot, so...

1955/56 Lebanon Quad @ 24,000

...I got an aerial photo. Because of the dormers and tower, it was easy to find. The track and field of the middle school makes it easy to correlation this old aerial with today's satellite images. It was in the southeast quadrant of 8th Street and the tracks.

In fact, it still exists.

BK lives!!!
[I gather from the comments that this is a CTC machine.]

Fortunately, the second map that I looked at showed me that the junction was south of Meadville. Erie Railroad is #16.

Looking south of Meadville, it was easy finding the junction on this topo map.

c1922 Southern Railroad Roundhouse, Turntable, Shops and Yards, Ludlow, Kentucky.

The roundhouse was already gone in 1955. The backshop building has been replaced by a locomotive service building.

1955/57 Covington Quad @ 24,000

The roundhouse was close to Davies Street.

1914/14 West Cincinnati Quad @ 62,500

The foundation doesn't look correct. Note how they have reused just half of the turntable.

I found an image from 2004 before the trees took over. They had removed just part of the foundation.

Google Earth, Apr 2004

Judging from a label on Google Maps, the locomotive service building was removed rather recently. Indeed, it was removed between April and October in 2020.
