New Elevator: (Satellite)
This is one of those towns along US-45 that did not get an exit on I-57.

| Onarga Historical Society and Museum posted 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. Brian Bottorff posted Farm village, Iroquois county |
Note that there were two bunches of bins west of 550 East Road.

| Dennis DeBruler commented on Brian's share The depot was east of the tracks, and the grain elevator was on the west side. 1940 aerial photo https://maps.app.goo.gl/VQctdZhFGZJtZXPz9 |
The grain elevator did grow in its original location.

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.
