New Elevator: (Satellite)
Standard Gas Station: (Satellite)
NS 256 is a Triple Crown RoadRailer train, and the that service is going to quit running in just a couple of day. Thus railfans are making an effort to catch it. This one has the NKP heritage unit pulling it.

| Jackson Vandeventer posted 256 bustling eastbound thru Ivesdale this afternoon, just about to head into the hole for a westbound. I grew up watching these trains, traveling to Philo for ice cream with my grandma always every other night. I took these trains for granted, not caring too much about shooting them till the past several months. The memory of Triple Crown trains will always live on! Alex Powell: Good shot! I like seeing all of these get posted and then trying to remember going by. Were you on a ladder in the back of your truck? Jackson Vandeventer: Alex Powell You’d be correct! It’s all about perspective lmao. Dennis DeBruler: I'm glad you included the wood grain elevator. Those are another piece of history that is disappearing. |
The new elevator is big and, judging from all of the hoppers on the siding here and to the west, it is rail served by a Class I railroad. The old elevator is in the upper-right corner. I also saw hoppers in some of the street views.

Lots of fertilizer spreading equipment. Beyond the sprayers is a lot of chisel knife implements.

A better view of the chisel knifes and a discovery of an old gas station.

Those are probably fertilizer storage tanks behind the station.
